+recommended that SC4S traffic be sent to HEC endpoints configured directly on the indexers rather than an intermediate tier of HWFs. Deployments with 10 or fewer Indexers and where HEC is used exclusively for syslog, the recommendation is to use the native load balancing. In all other scenarios the recommendation is to use an external load balacer. If utilizing the native load balancing, be sure to update the configuration when the number and/or names of the indexers change.
 - Create a HEC token that will be used by SC4S and ensure the token has access to place events in main, em_metrics, and all indexes used as
 event destinations.
