@pickypg Can you please clarify if we need to update the Disable certain types of data collection by AutoOps page itself as well?
The first step on the page is to "open the autoops_es.yml file." Will users have this file on their machine if they haven't installed the agent yet?

LGTM. I don't think we need to duplicate this to the other page as that page can be exactly how to do it and you get taken there if you have a reason.

It does make me wonder a little if we should add a table of the supported metricsets and whether they are optional or not. Only tasks_management and the templates are optional as we wrote, but would a table be better?

@pickypg we haven't explicitly mentioned anywhere that tasks_management and templates are the only optional ones. They just happen to be the ones in our example. We do have this note on the page though:

If you think we should add the table/make any other changes, I'm happy to do it

Converted to draft because we might have to change the Disable certain types of data collection by AutoOps page after all

From Slack discussion:

For the user to properly disable this type of data sending before they connect, we will need to have some instructions for them to change their configuration before they ever run it.

@pickypg Do we know what config changes users need to make? Whenever you have more details, if you could please add them to the related issue, I can update the docs accordingly. Thanks for your help!
