I suggest nesting this under advanced topics, as it's not technically required and not applicable, e.g. in serverless.

I'd really prefer not to hide this in the advanced topics. Arguably, this is a less advanced way to send data to Elasticsearch as it doesn't require as much Elasticsearch-specific know-how like data streams, index templates, mappings, and time_series_metric/time_series_dimensions flags.

I think this can greatly simplify the getting started experience for storing metrics in Elasticsearch.

Let's leave this as is, since the otlp entrypoint works only for, well, otlp data.
