universal forwarder : it is used to send data from source to indexer
Splunk app: you need to install in indexer or search head and shows you report, visualization
splunk addon:you need to install splunk add-on in forwarder and addon extract the data from source (example run scripts in unix addon) v and send to indexer via forwarder
