Description

Currently the topology/component sampling feature is undocumented, and likely confusing to users (the UI includes the "Debug" and "Stop Debug", but the functionality does not provide any indication of what it does, or how to access the sample logs).

We should document the basic functionality and configuration, as well as how to extend it.
