failing to send data from the windows 2012 R2 host to linux splunk indexer

Below is the error:
How to fix the error "The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to output group default-autolb-group has been blocked for 6200 seconds. This will probably stall the data flow towards indexing and other network outputs. Review the receiving system's health in the Splunk Monitoring Console. It is probably not accepting data."

Telnet works fine

hello there,

please make sure you enable inputs on your Indexer as well as outputs on the correct port on the forwarder
also worthwhile to check there arent any blocks (firewall rules) on the way
