This table provides a reference for installing this specific add-on to a distributed deployment of Splunk Enterprise.

Splunk instance type	Supported	Required	Actions required / Comments
Search Heads	Yes	Yes	Install this add-on to all search heads where Box knowledge management is required.
Indexers	Yes	No	Not required, because the parsing operations occur on the heavy forwarders.
Heavy Forwarders	Yes	Yes	Install this add-on on heavy forwarders to perform data collection via modular inputs.
Universal Forwarders	No	No	Install this add-on on a heavy forwarder for data collection.

Distributed deployment feature compatibility

This add-on can be installed on a search head cluster for all search-time functionality, but configure inputs on forwarders to avoid duplicate data collection.
