Integrating always-enabled features in quick start guides

[inventarSarah]

Problem Statement

Logs and metrics are always enabled, so no configuration is needed (with exceptions; e.g., Python needs no config but an import, afaik).
This is a new? situation, and we need to decide how to integrate these features into the quick start guides -- especially how we want to present them in the onboarding options.

We want to make sure users know about these features, and the quick start guides are a great place to do that.

Solution Brainstorm

I can think of three possible solutions:

1. No onboarding option

• no onboarding option, but keep the feature description in an expandable; always show the verification code snippet
• example: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/

+ onboarding option stays logical (enable features you want to configure)
-:bad feature visibility

2. Keep onboarding option

• keep onboarding option and all feature descriptions;
• onboarding option toggles verification code snippet visibility
• example: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/

+ good feature visibility
- may be confusing > you can't turn off the feature even if you disable the onboarding option

3. Display onboarding option but disable it

• keep onboarding option, enable it, and disable the checkbox -> like we do for "Error Monitoring"
• keep feature descriptions
• always display verification code snippets

+ good feature visibility
+ onboarding options stays logical
- onboarding options could look messy or overwhelming (the more, the messier)

Onboarding option and feature descriptions in expandable:

I'm wondering if another option is to make the tiles selecting features less prominent across the board on the page, and to tie them more to initializing the SDK. That way, we can say something like "errors, logs, and metrics are initialized by default, select any other features you also wish to configure"

Or maybe even better yet, have them all selected by default on the page, and let people deselect what they don't want.

I think we can also be more explicit about logs, adding loggers into code, etc. Let's make sure we're giving logs some love on these updates.
