Splunk Add-On for NetApp in Splunk Cloud

Hello,

We are Splunk Cloud subscribers. We want to utilize the NetApp for Splunk Add-On. We've Two on-site Deployment servers, one Windows, one Linux and an on-site Heavy Forwarder. My interpretation of the instructions are that we install the NetApp Add-Ons (ONTAP Indexes & Extractions) within the cloud hosted search head. 

 The Cloud instructions leave me with the impression, that we may need to utilize the heavy forwarder as a data collection node for the NetApp Add-Ons as well. There we would manually install the app components within the splunk home /etc/apps directory. Looking within the deployment server and the heavy forwarder. Both splunk home directories installed have directory permissions set to 700.  We're hoping this method of installation does not apply to us then and the cloud installation process automated much of this and obviated the need to manually configure the heavy forwarder.

Upon completing these Add-On installations via the cloud hosted search head, are there any additional steps or actions we will need to take to complete the installation aside from the NetApp Appliance configurations?

Thank you,

Terry
