Description

**Feedback**: Where is the config file for windows? Where does logging go?

- [ ] We should probably call out that 2.x does not need a config file like 1.x and doesn't install one on the system. We can then link to the [configuration options](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/reference/config-options/) doc.
- [ ] We should add a link to the [file system layout doc](/influxdb/v2.3/reference/internals/file-system-layout/#file-system-layout) on the install page as well.
- [ ] We need to document how to manage / store logs. Here are existing related issues:
- https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/3295
- https://github.com/influxdata/docs-v2/issues/827

Research direction

Start with the OSS install page at /influxdb/v2.3/install/ and review the linked configuration options and file system layout documentation. Use related issues 3295 and 827 to investigate the expected log management guidance. Done means the install page explains that InfluxDB 2.x does not install a config file, links to both references, and documents where logs are managed or stored.
