Install this where?

Should this add-on be installed on my linux forwarder machines in addition to the main Splunk server?

Thanks very much for the question @ajhstn. I've updated the documentation to explicitly indicate that neither app should be installed on universal forwarders. Installing the TA on universal forwarders won't cause a problem, but there's no benefit in doing so.
