How does Splunk 6.3 provide native support for ingesting data retrieved by Powershell scripts?

[bruceclarke]

Hey all,

We've recently upgraded to Splunk 6.3 and I had a quick question about this release note:

"Powershell Input. Native support for ingesting data retrieved by Powershell scripts. See the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft PowerShell manual."

Namely, what exactly changed? The Splunk Add-on for PowerShell doesn't appear to have been updated, but I don't want to remove it until I understand exactly how 6.3 natively supports "ingesting data retrieved by Powershell scripts." Can anyone point me to better documentation?

Thanks!
