We have this installed and running in our SQL clustered environment. We have the plugin installed directly on our SQL servers. However you should be able to deploy it to a specific machine then plug in your server/instances to audit. This is all done through the MSSQL Auditor config program. As far as best practice goes we just followed the admin guide. So far the overhead has been minimal. It can generate quite a bit of traffic. Also depending on how much data is going through your database the logs can get very beefy as well.
