Use the Splunk Add-on for Infrastructure

The Splunk Add-on for Infrastructure must be installed with the Splunk App for Infrastructure on Splunk Enterprise for full functionality.

The Splunk Add-on for Infrastructure does not have a user interface other than the setup page. You do not use the add-on more than you install and configure it with the Splunk App for Infrastructure for a Splunk Enterprise distributed deployment.
