Description

The user is looking to install or configure this as a plugin. Can we add some text that clarifies that this does not require any configuration?

Change the first sentence from:
“By default, InfluxDB generates internal metrics and saves to the _internal database. Use these metrics to monitor InfluxDB and InfluxDB Enterprise and to create alerts to notify you when problems arise.”

to this:

After you install InfluxDB, InfluxDB generates internal metrics and saves them to the _internal database by default—there is no configuration necessary.

New user feedback!

Feedback: It gives absolutely no info on how to install or configure this plug_in

Research direction

Open the measurements-internal documentation page linked in the issue and locate its introductory sentence about internal metrics and the _internal database. Confirm the wording addresses the feedback about installation and configuration, then verify the rendered page clearly states that no configuration is necessary after installation.
