Hello I am new to Splunk and Citrix Environment.

I wanted to know the steps to install splunk UF for getting the OS level Logs from systems in Citrix environment(XenApp,Xendesktop,Xenserver), Is there any link or guide I can ref and install UF on these systems? 

Also What is the difference between Splunk Ad-ons for XenApp,Xendesktop,Xenserver and UF?

which is the best practice?

Thanks Anmol, 

I have gone through this page but the condition I am wanting is the OS Logs only like the users log in or out. The events created in syslogs etc. And I would be more interested with the flow of these logs towards deployment/Indexer. And here there is no mention about the installation on different Citrix (XenApp or Desktop)  I understood we can write script and Add-on available for xenapp and xendesktop too ?

But any proper document where I can have a step by step process of getting this on my Live environment ?
