Where should I install the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services?

I'm going to use Splunk on-prem with Azure, by installing Universal Forwarder on the VMs, but still going to use the Add-on for getting Azure audit logs.
Where should I install the add-on?
In addition, do I have to use Heavy forwarder (between the UF and the indexer) in this case?

Thanks

install the TA on the search head(s). its not necessary to send to a heavy forwarder but if you dont, you'll need to install on the indexers as well.

if you are sending any data to the hf from the ufs then yes install on the heavy forwarder and then you wont have to install on the indexers.
