Use Observability Pipelines' processors to parse, structure, and enrich your logs and metrics. When you create a pipeline in the UI, pre-selected processors are added to your processor group based on the selected template. You can add additional processors and delete any existing ones based on your processing needs.

This is weird. I'm seeing something similar with an extra space in the mdoc file. I'll need to ping webops about it.

This tooltip has a space before "in Preview" that I can't get rid of

Thanks @evazorro for the review! Applied your suggestions. I'll open a webops card about the spacing issues.
