Azure API logs saving to _internal index, Why?

Has anyone else configured the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services and seen issues where the data that's coming in is saving to the _internal index even when you specify an index for the data to send to, e.g. 'azure'??

I'm also getting the following via grep azure /var/log/splunk/splunkd.log

01-06-2019 20:48:11.130 -0800 INFO ModularInputs - No stanzas found for scheme "mscs_azure_audit" in inputs.conf at script (re)start.
