Research direction

Update DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md using osbenchmark/telemetry.py as the source of truth. First inspect the telemetry devices, their defaults and requirements, then document configuration through telemetry.devices and the extension path. Done means the guide covers the requested devices, enablement rules, provisioning requirements, and how contributors add devices.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary

DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md covers environment setup, testing, and contributing workflow, but does
not describe Solr Orbit's telemetry system.

What's needed

Add a section to DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md that covers:

  • The available telemetry devices and what each measures (JVM, node stats, collection stats,
    query stats, indexing stats, cache stats, segment stats, shard stats, etc.)
  • Which devices are always-on vs. opt-in
  • Which devices require a provisioned (managed) Solr vs. an external cluster
  • How to enable/disable devices via the telemetry.devices parameter in a track/workload
  • How to extend or add new telemetry devices

Why

New contributors and users are left to read the source in osbenchmark/telemetry.py to
understand what telemetry is collected — this should be documented at the guide level.
