Underlying software defaults not always set on river types.
Scenario: A default is documented and being used by the underlying software but never set on a river type
For example, otelcol.receiver.opencensus > tls > min_version
default "TLS 1.2"
Proposal: Set the default value documented in the flow component docs on the river type. This will have at least 2 benefits
- We can see the default value in the Flow Graph UI
- If the underlying software default changes and we miss it our documentation will still match agent functionality rather than quietly getting out of sync
I wonder if we could automate calling the API and comparing the API response to the running config to point out differences.
