`allow_older_versions`

| Allow {agent} to connect and send output to an {es} instance that is running an earlier version than the agent version.

Note that this setting does not affect {agent}'s ability to connect to {fleet-server}.
{fleet-server} will not accept a connection from an agent at a later major or minor version.
It will accept a connection from an agent at a later patch version.
For example, an {agent} at version 8.14.3 can connect to a {fleet-server} on version 8.14.0, but an agent at version 8.15.0 or later is not able to connect.
