Description

### Problem Statement

Basically, I have the same request as [posted before](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/issues/64881), I'd like to be able to configure these defaults for globally/per project.

As @gaprl writes in that post, many SDKs support these configuration options, which would be ok as well - but that doesn't seem to be the case for automatically-discovered celery-beat tasks, which is what I'm setting up at the moment. There's no mention in [the docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/celery/crons/#celery-beat-auto-discovery). However, we can [configure that for manual monitors](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/crons/#configuring-cron-monitors) and I tried adding `@monitor(monitor_config={...})` to auto-discovered tasks, but that didn't work.

Do I overlook something or is it indeed not possible to configure these values for auto-discovered beat tasks?

### Solution Brainstorm

Ideally we'd be able to configure global/project defaults. Failing that, configuring that via decorator in code would still be much preferable to manually configure each monitor via the Sentry web UI.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Celery beat auto-discovery documentation with the manual cron monitor configuration documentation linked in the issue. Trace how auto-discovered tasks receive their monitor settings and verify whether decorator configuration is supported. Done means a defined way to configure defaults or decorators for auto-discovered tasks, with the behavior documented and tested.
