splunkObservability.logsEnabled MUST to be true and cannot be disabled (for 0.49.0 or newer)

[ghost]

After upgrading to 0.49.0 or newer, splunkObservability.logsEnabled and cannot be set to false, or the Splunk agent won't start and failed with:

main.go:136: application run finished with error: failed to get config: invalid configuration: exporter “splunk_hec/o11y” has invalid configuration: either “log_data_enabled” or “profiling_data_enabled” has to be true

It requires at least one of following options to be true

• log_data_enabled
• profiling_data_enabled

A quick troubleshooting shows profiling_data_enabled is always false:

https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector-chart/blob/main/helm-charts/splunk-otel-collector/templates/config/_otel-k8s-cluster-receiver-config.tpl#L150

and the log_data_enabled: {{ .Values.splunkObservability.logsEnabled }} indicates that splunkObservability.logsEnabled must be true, or errors above will happen.

Set splunkObservability.logsEnabled to true may increase our cost on Splunk Observability Cloud.
