If you install the app on the search head and restart Splunk of a supported version, it should ingest the local data and show dashboards visualizing the data right away (see attached). Even though it says it only supports Splunk Versions: 6.5, 6.4, 6.3, 6.2, 6.1, 6.0, 5.0, you can get it running on 7.0 as well.

If you have a heavy forwarder, it is easy, just install the app and forward it to the right index, browser in this case. However, to get data in from a remote machine with UF is another ball game, as this app uses Python, you will have to install your own Python interpreter on the UF and tinker around to make it work.
