Website Monitoring Application - Inputs do not replicate on search head cluster

This post is a question targeted towards the app developer more than a general question..

The website monitoring app is a great application, I'm just wondering if the documentation could be updated to advise that while the "Create Inputs" page will create an input on a search head cluster it ideally should not be used (or even better if you could make it invisible on a search head cluster as this kind of input should not be created on individual search heads in the cluster).

Ideally the "data inputs" panel should be hidden on a search head cluster as this page within the application actually creates a local inputs.conf which is then not replicated among search head cluster members.

I believe the documentation could simply state that the inputs is expected to run on a standalone search head or heavy forwarder while the application itself can be used on a search head cluster (excluding the Create Inputs page).

I've edited my local version to change the navigation bar but I'm hoping the author sees this and can either update the documentation or application...

Thanks!

I will fix this in the next version of the app. My plan is to have the UI handle this since I think that is likely preferable.
