Pull request overview
This PR updates the Runtime Code Analysis (IAST) setup documentation to add a billing clarification about APM-related intake when IAST is enabled, even if APM tracing is turned off.
Changes:
- Adds a note in the prerequisites info alert about APM intake costs/usage associated with IAST security traces and spans.
- Adjusts the alert formatting to include a manual line break before the new billing note.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
| <div class="alert alert-info">The Datadog Agent and SDK are the only requirements for IAST. APM tracing and Infrastructure Monitoring are not required; IAST reports findings independently of both. To disable APM or Infrastructure Monitoring, see <a href="#disable-apm-and-infrastructure-monitoring">Disable APM and Infrastructure Monitoring</a>. | ||

| Even if APM is disabled, APM intake costs are still incurred for ingesting data, such as security traces and spans, to support IAST.</div> |
