How to install the Cisco Networks App and Add-on in a distributed search environment?

We are deploying a distributed Splunk instance. I install the TA-cisco_ios in my Indexers. Is there any other place need to be added?

Have 1 Search Head, 2 Indexers and 2 Syslogs collectors. The syslog collector is already configured in the outputs.conf to add the sourcetype = cisco:ios for every message coming in a specific path.

Did I need to add the TA also in the syslog collectors as well? The only installation in the search head will be the Cisco IOS app?

The docs state that you need TA-cisco_ios on the search heads too.
