[DOCS] Minor issues in Logs installation instructions #646

Closed

Description

Comments from @weltenwort in review of #581. I've raised a separate issue because these are problems in the existing content, not problems in the split, which was the focus of the original issue.

Affected topic docs/en/logs/logs-installation.asciidoc, may also apply to closely related topic docs/en/metrics/installation.asciidoc

However you install {beats}, you need to enable the appropriate modules in {filebeat} to start collecting logs data

This is not necessarily true and contradicts the previous paragraph. For custom log setups users would set up the appropriate inputs and configure some processors. The modules merely provide pre-packaged sets of such configurations.

Appropriate {beats} shippers (version 6.5 or later) installed and enabled on each system you want to . . .

Is this guide intentionally focused on filebeat? It's possible to use other means of ingestion such as logstash and fluentd in combination with the Logs UI. Maybe this section should be called "Setting up log collection with filebeat"?
