Azure default configuration.yaml and documentation is very misleading

When looking at the default configuration.yaml for Azure and looking at the documentation, it is very misleading.  And, it does not follow standard documentation principals. It causes confusion and causes customers to specify invalid configurations.

Specifically, in the docs and sample yaml, the parameters show '[ string ]'.  Square brackets are typically not used in documetation for a parameter that needs to be replaced.  We should be using "< >" instead.

#com.instana.plugin.azure:
#  enabled: true
#  # Subscription & Tenant ID
#  subscription: '[Your-Subscription-Id]'
#  tenant: '[Your-Tenant-Id]'
#  # List of service principals that we can use to connect to the Azure
#  # Each service principal has a limit of 12000 requests per hour.
#  # Secret is a base64 encoded. If you are getting it directly from the Azure web,
#  # it will already be encoded, so there is no need to encode it again.
#  principals:
#    - id: '[Your-Service-Principal-Account-Id]'
#      secret: '[Your-Service-Principal-Secret]'

 

Working with a customer, they left the square brackets in the configuration.yaml and the Azure sensor didn't work.

We should replace square brackets with <>.  And, we should do this both in the documentation and in the default configuration.yaml file that we install with the agent.
