The token permissions documentation did not clarify that basic API
tokens are insufficient for ingesting OpenTelemetry traces and metrics.
Users need advanced API tokens with both Ingest and Create permissions.
Added a comparison table and a note to help users choose the right
token type, especially when setting up OTel pipelines.

The dataset creation documentation did not explicitly list the available
OpenTelemetry dataset kinds (Logs, Traces, Metrics), leaving users
unsure which option to select. Users creating datasets for OTel traces
could not find the correct kind. Also added an Export data section since
users were asking how to download entire datasets.

The heatmap documentation was minimal and lacked explanation of how to
read the visualization. Users were confused about what the axes, color
intensity, legend values, and bucket boundaries represent. Added a new
section explaining how to interpret heatmaps and understand bucket
boundaries.

The histogram documentation did not explain how bucket boundaries work,
what the _bin column values represent, or the difference between the
number_of_bins parameter and actual bin width. Users were confused about
whether bin values represent bucket starts, ends, or centers, and how
to verify their histogram definitions. Added sections on bucket
boundaries, the number_of_bins parameter, and heatmap visualization.

Users were asking how to set up Terraform to forward AWS CloudWatch
logs to Axiom, but the Terraform page did not mention this use case.
Added a note with a link to the CloudWatch integration page which
contains the Terraform module documentation.

The threshold monitor documentation mentioned the Notify by group
option but did not clearly explain its behavior, particularly whether
separate notifications are sent per group or bundled in a single
message. Users expected separate Slack notifications per group but
received bundled messages. Added a dedicated section explaining the
behavior and a note about using custom webhooks for separate
notifications.

Users were experiencing issues where OTel traces did not appear in
Axiom because they used basic API tokens instead of advanced tokens.
The OpenTelemetry page used a generic prerequisites snippet that did
not mention the need for advanced tokens with Ingest and Create
permissions. Added a note clarifying both the token requirements and
the importance of selecting the correct dataset kind.
