Pull request overview

This pull request adds comprehensive documentation for the query log feature in InfluxDB 3 Cloud Dedicated. The new page explains how to view and analyze executed queries using both the Admin UI's Query History interface and the influxctl CLI by querying the _internal database. The documentation includes practical examples for filtering queries by status, duration, database, and time range, along with screenshots demonstrating the Admin UI interface.

Changes:

Added /content/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/query-data/troubleshoot-and-optimize/query-log.md with dual-method documentation (Admin UI and CLI)
Documented query log schema including status, timing metrics, resource usage columns, and filtering capabilities
Included working examples for common query log use cases with both SQL filtering and Admin UI filtering options

The statement "query log is not enabled by default on all clusters as it can create a negligible ingest load" is confusing. If the load is negligible, that's not typically a reason to disable a feature. Consider clarifying whether the load is significant (not negligible) or providing a different reason for why it's disabled by default (e.g., privacy concerns, storage costs, or that it's intended for troubleshooting rather than continuous monitoring).

Suggested change

> The query log is not enabled by default on all clusters as it can create a negligible ingest load on your cluster.

> The query log is disabled by default on all clusters because it generates additional ingest and storage overhead and is intended primarily for troubleshooting, not continuous monitoring.

@ritwika314 ☝️

I think its more accurate to say:

The query log is not enabled by default on all clusters as it can create a small additional ingest and storage load on your cluster.

Replaced note with @jeffreyssmith2nd 's suggestion.

+1. To access the {{% product-name %}} Admin UI, visit the following url in your browser:
+
+   <pre>
+   <a href="https://console.influxdata.com">https://console.influxdata.com</a>
+   </pre>
+
+2. Use the credentials provided by InfluxData to log into the Admin UI.
+   If you don't have login credentials, [contact InfluxData support](https://support.influxdata.com).

Following the established pattern in other cloud-dedicated files (e.g., content/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/admin/databases/list.md), this section should use the {{< admin-ui-access >}} shortcode instead of manually writing out the access instructions. This maintains consistency and centralizes the Admin UI access instructions. Replace lines 37-44 with the shortcode.
