Getting Data In

How do I resolve universal forwarder issue with TCP connection (can telnet to 8089 and 9997 though from host)?

Hello! Been using the universal forwarder for years connecting to a heavy forwarder currently forwarding to splunk cloud. Installing it on a new AWS host, running into the below errors when data inputs change. I've confirmed that the forwarder is reachable out from the host using telnet.

Any Ideas?

Resolved - Outbound traffic was fine from the AWS host, but inbound traffic to our DC wasn't showing the traffic reaching the heavy forwarder.
