Hello
You should upgrade at least to version 5.x
6.x indexers are backwards compatible with forwarders down to 5.0.x.
And, as a best practice you should have them in 6.x
As a best practice, it is recommended that indexers be at the same or higher version level than the forwarders they're receiving data from.
