Splunk Cloud Platform

new index creation

verifi81
Path Finder

I am a splunk cloud customer with an onprem heavy forwarder.

I have an app on the heavy forwarder which I want to configure for a new INDEX.

Let me know if I am missing anything:

I go into the heavy forwarder and create a new INDEX. Let's say it's called "office"

Then I go into splunk cloud and create the index with the exact same name "office"

Is that all I need to do?
