| - (Splunk) Apache Web Server Auto Discovery: set the default discovered endpoint to match the OpenTelemetry `apachereceiver` default: `http://`endpoint`/server-status?auto` ([#5353](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector/pull/5353)) | ||
| If the collector is running as a process on the host OS and the Apache Web Server is in a Docker container add `--set=splunk.discovery.extensions.docker_observer.config.use_host_bindings=true` to the command-line arguments for the discovery to create the correct endpoint. |

These are already know facts here. I meant to say it holds for all discovery apps/services/dbs. May be we can skip linke16

Good point, unfortunately, use_host_bindings is not explicitly listed there. To be fair I didn't read that doc carefully, but, I will add a task to review and update the doc, I think that there are a few things that we should be more explicit about.

That is the path that one would use on the endpoint for the Apache receiver. The OTel receiver and most of the samples defaults to server-status, confusingly the name of the module that provides the functionality is actually mod_status, see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_status.html
Description:
Re-enable OOTB discovery for Apache Web Server with a default endpoint that matches the one from the OpenTelemetry
apachereceiver:http://`endpoint`/server-status?autoCollateral changes:
apachereceiverdiscovery.apachewebservertoapache. While the former is more descriptive it doesn't follow the pattern of other receivers from OpenTelemetry that can be discovered.Link to Splunk idea:
