NetFlow Analytics for Splunk - Do I need to set the sourcetype manually?

I just installed the App yesterday on Splunk 6.4.1 on Windows 7 Pro 32 bit machine. I have added data input UDP port 995.
Looks like i need to set the source type as NetFlow but I don't see it listed. Am I supposed to create a source type manually?

I see packets arriving from a Cisco Router on this Windows 7 Pro destined to port 9995 but nothing shows up on the App dashboard.

This App relies on flow data processed by NetFlow Optimizer™ (NFO). You need to download it from https://www.netflowlogic.com/downloads/ and install it on a server or VM. Your Cisco Router should be configured to send NetFlow to NFO. NFO will optimize binary flow data and send optimized flow information to Splunk.

You also need Technology Add-on for NetFlow (TA-netflow) on your search heads, indexers, and forwarders. To download TA-netflow please visit https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1838/

Please contact trial@netflowlogic.com if you have questions or need further assistance.
