To help with the tech/doc review, here are some of the changes:

On Supported log types topic:

In the first paragraph I added the info about the new category feature
The second paragraph was taken from the 'Create custom log detector' page. I just added the bit about the Category column
New column for 'Category' in the table
New Security > Waf log type description
Page actions was taken from 'Create detector' topic, so the only new text is the last bullet about the category.

In the 'Create custom..' topic:

Much of the content was moved, as noted above, to the other page where it was more relevant.
Simplified the steps and added the part about selecting a category.
I also added links back to the log types page.

I've added a new column called "Log names" with the full names. Can someone please provide more detailed descriptions of the log types? Thanks.

minor changes needed in the names would be Microsoft Azure for Azure, Linux System logs instead of Sys logs Signed-off-by: Heather Halter <[email protected]>

+| Network Activity| `Dns` | DNS logs that store Domain Name System (DNS) activity. |
+| Network Activity | `Network` | Network logs that record events that happen in a system's network, such as login attempts and application events. | 
+| Network Activity | `vpcflow` | [VPC Flow Logs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/logging-monitoring-for-application-owners/vpc-flow-logs.html) that capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. |
+| Security | `Waf` | Web Application Firewall (WAF) logs (introduced in OpenSearch 2.11) for users that require monitoring of the WAF use case that's provided out-of-the box in the Security plugin. The role of WAF is to monitor and filter HTTP traffic between a web application and the internet. WAF prevents common security attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL Injection (SQi), and so on. |


Are we referring to AWS WAF here? If so, the service name must always be "AWS WAF", never shortened to "WAF", and we don't define WAF as "Web Application Firewall". Instead, we say "AWS WAF is a web application firewall."
