 * Use `splunk.com/index` annotation on pod and/or namespace to tell which Splunk platform indexes to ingest to. Pod annotation will take precedence over namespace annotation when both are annotated.
   For example, the following command will make logs from `kube-system` namespace to be sent to `k8s_events` index: `kubectl annotate namespace kube-system splunk.com/index=k8s_events`
+  **Please Note:** Cluster receiver supports only namespace index annotations, pod index annotations are not supported.
 * Use `splunk.com/metricsIndex` annotation on pod and/or namespace to tell which Splunk platform metric indexes to ingest to. Pod annotation will take precedence over namespace annotation when both are annotated.
 * Filter logs using pod and/or namespace annotation
   * If `logsCollection.containers.useSplunkIncludeAnnotation` is `false` (default: false), set `splunk.com/exclude` annotation to `true` on pod and/or namespace to exclude its logs from ingested.
