 == Limitations
 
-* The auto-detection script currently scans for metrics and logs from Apache, Docker, Nginx, and the host system.
-   It also scans for custom log files.
 * The auto-detection script works on Linux and MacOS only. Support for the `lsof` command is also required if you want to detect custom log files.
 * If you've installed Apache or Nginx in a non-standard location, you'll need to specify log file paths manually when you run the scan.
 * Because Docker Desktop runs in a VM, its logs are not auto-detected.

 You can re-run the script on the same host to detect additional logs.
 The script will scan the host and reconfigure {agent} with any additional logs that are found.
 If the script misses any custom logs, you can add them manually by entering `n` after the script has finished scanning the host.
