| Use tag filters to control which Azure resources have their metrics collected by Datadog. A tag filter is a comma-separated list of tags in the form `key:value`. Only resources that match at least one tag in the filter have their metrics collected. |

should we add a line here telling users where to configure tag filters?

| For example: `datadog:monitored,env:production,!plan_tier:basic,instance-type:c1.*` | ||
|
|
||
| This filter forwards logs from resources tagged with `datadog:monitored` or `env:production`, excludes resources tagged with `plan_tier:basic`, and includes resources with an `instance-type` tag matching `c1.*`. | ||

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
Fixes DOCS-13562
Adds resource tag filtering documentation to the Azure getting started guide and a reference from the automated log forwarding page. Tag filtering subsections are added under both the "Metric collection" and "Enable log collection" sections so customers can find the information regardless of which section they navigate to.
This replaces the approach in #35060, which directed customers to edit environment variables directly in the Azure portal forwarders.
