The warning previously said not to add the extension on versions earlier than v7.76.0, implying you should add it on newer versions. Since v7.76.0+ has it enabled by default, the warning now clarifies that DDOT Collector users should not manually add it on any version.

Hi @brett0000FF, just reaching out to confirm if you're planning to apply the open feedback. If not, I'll proceed with reviewing the content as it is. |
The Datadog Extension is automatically handled in all DDOT Collector versions, so users should never manually configure it. Removes version references that implied manual setup was needed for some versions.

@buraizu - Thanks! Good to review now. There was a separate discussion offline I was waiting to be resolved. |
