📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates Fluent Bit documentation for HTTP server configuration. A new http_server.idle_timeout setting is documented in the pipeline section with its behavior and default value, and the service section documentation is clarified to distinguish between built-in HTTP server configuration and plugin-specific HTTP listener settings.

Changes

HTTP Server Configuration Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Idle timeout setting documentation administration/configuring-fluent-bit/yaml/pipeline-section.md	The HTTP input listener settings table adds a new http_server.idle_timeout row with description, disable behavior (0), accepted time formats, and default value (10s).
Service section scope clarification administration/configuring-fluent-bit/yaml/service-section.md	The service section documentation is updated to clarify that only the built-in monitoring and control HTTP server is configured there, while plugin-specific HTTP listener settings are configured on input plugins; the enumerated settings list replaces http_server.workers with http_server.ingress_queue_event_limit and adds http_server.ingress_queue_byte_limit.

🐰 A timeout for REST, docs now shine bright,
HTTP listeners sleep when idle at night,
The service and pipeline, now clearly defined,
Settings aligned, with peace of mind!
