Pull request overview
This PR updates Calico Enterprise L7 logging documentation to help users validate Waypoint collector deployment and set expectations for when logs become visible in the web console, applying to Enterprise 3.24-1+ content (both unversioned and versioned docs).
Changes:
- Adds a “Verify the collector is running” section with a
kubectlcommand to check the Waypoint collector. - Adds a note that L7 logs can take several minutes to appear in the web console.

- This sentence says “pods listed”, but the command output is container names (and after updating the command, it will show pod + phase + container names). Adjust wording to match what the command prints.
You should see both the `istio-proxy` and `l7-collector` pods listed.
