 The application operates index time operation, the PA-nmon add-on must be installed in indexers in order for the application to operate normally.
-In complex distributed deployments, Heavy Forwarders (which are full Splunk instances) can operate as intermediate collectors between indexers and Universal Forwarder clients, in such a case Heavy Forwarders with the TA-nmon add-on installed will operate index time parsing and will free indexers from these tasks.

+If there are any Heavy forwarders acting as intermediate forwarders between indexers and Universal Forwarders, the TA-nmon add-on must deployed on the intermediate forwarders to achieve successfully index time extractions.
