Thanks @mdbirnstiehl - looking good!

Could we make some tweaks?

1. Update Metrics Reference docs to make event.module filters clearer
When I view these pages,host metrics - elastic system integration, host metrics - otel or k8s pods I think it's easy to miss that the each entity type filters by event.module as well.

I know it's at the bottom but I think we should remove this section and make it super clear as part of each entity type.

I think it might actually be quite easy to update it as follows to solve a lot of problems at once:

1. Updated text

2. Refer to the identifier
Make it clear how each entity is detected (including how the UIs 'filter' out data). I've updated the google doc to define these: hosts (System), Hosts (OTel), containers, k8s pods, AWS EC2, AWS S3, AWS RDS, AWS SQS

3. No changes here except for putting it in a title

4. Nice tweak to reflect the sections

2. Ensure other entity types in Infra Inventory docs point towards the relevant metrics references
I think it's easy to skip past the Filter the Inventory View section (esp if you use the right-hand nav).

To make sure users don't miss the required metric references per entity type, could you update the 'view host metrics', 'view container metrics' and 'view metrics from other resources' to point towards the relevant metrics references too?
