<issue_title>[text-auditor] Fix clear typo families in autodiscover/module docs and field descriptions</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Text Improvements

The following user-facing text issues were found in the repository. Each is a low-effort fix with complete in-repo occurrence coverage for its typo family.

1. `configration` typo in autodiscover reference docs (3 occurrences)

Files:

docs/reference/filebeat/configuration-autodiscover.md (line 229)
docs/reference/heartbeat/configuration-autodiscover.md (line 130)
docs/reference/metricbeat/configuration-autodiscover.md (line 150)

Current text: Specify filters and configration for the extra metadata...

Suggested fix: Specify filters and configuration for the extra metadata...

Why: Clear spelling typo in user-facing reference docs.

2. Grammar typo `not file` in Filebeat reference configuration comments (4 occurrences)

Files:

filebeat/filebeat.reference.yml (line 667)
filebeat/_meta/config/filebeat.inputs.reference.yml.tmpl (line 254)
x-pack/filebeat/filebeat.reference.yml (line 2367)
docs/reference/filebeat/filebeat-reference-yml.md (line 687)

Current text: Make sure not file is defined twice as this can lead to unexpected behaviour.

Suggested fix: Make sure no file is defined twice as this can lead to unexpected behaviour.

Why: Clear grammatical error in user-facing configuration guidance.

3. `realtive` typo in Heartbeat field descriptions (3 occurrences)

Files:

heartbeat/_meta/fields.common.yml (line 369)
heartbeat/docs/fields.asciidoc (line 187)
docs/reference/heartbeat/exported-fields-browser.md (line 63)

Current text: ...are realtive to...

Suggested fix: ...are relative to...

Why: Clear spelling typo repeated across source and generated/reference docs.

4. `endponts` typo in O365 module docs (3 occurrences)

Files:

filebeat/docs/modules/o365.asciidoc (line 107)
x-pack/filebeat/module/o365/_meta/docs.md (line 104)
docs/reference/filebeat/filebeat-module-o365.md (line 116)

Current text: ...alternative endpoints (GCC High endponts, U.S. DoD...)

Suggested fix: ...alternative endpoints (GCC High endpoints, U.S. DoD...)

Why: Clear spelling typo in user-facing module documentation.

5. `formated` typo in CrowdStrike module docs (3 occurrences)

Files:

filebeat/docs/modules/crowdstrike.asciidoc (line 39)
x-pack/filebeat/module/crowdstrike/_meta/docs.md (line 56)
docs/reference/filebeat/filebeat-module-crowdstrike.md (line 68)

Current text: JSON formated event data

Suggested fix: JSON formatted event data

Why: Clear spelling typo in user-facing module documentation.

6. `currnet` typo in DHCPv4 exported field descriptions (3 occurrences)

Files:

packetbeat/protos/dhcpv4/_meta/fields.yml (line 149)
packetbeat/docs/fields.asciidoc (line 1730)
docs/reference/packetbeat/exported-fields-dhcpv4.md (line 152)

Current text: ...on the currnet network.

Suggested fix: ...on the current network.

Why: Clear spelling typo in exported field text.

7. `recomended` typo in O365 docs (3 occurrences)

Files:

filebeat/docs/modules/o365.asciidoc (line 166)
x-pack/filebeat/module/o365/_meta/docs.md (line 148)
docs/reference/filebeat/filebeat-module-o365.md (line 160)

Current text: The following configuration options are only recomended...

Suggested fix: The following configuration options are only recommended...

Why: Clear spelling typo in user-facing configuration docs.

TL;DR

check-docs failed in make check because generated code is out of date (heartbeat/include/fields.go was modified during CI generation). Run make update, commit regenerated files, and rerun checks.

Remediation

From the PR branch, run make update at repo root.
Stage and commit generated changes (at minimum heartbeat/include/fields.go; include any other files changed by update).
Re-run make check locally to confirm no generated-file drift before pushing.

Investigation details

Root Cause

The workflow’s check job reached the Heartbeat check phase, regenerated artifacts, then failed the repository cleanliness check because a generated file changed and was not committed.

Evidence

Workflow: https://github.com/elastic/beats/actions/runs/23446050208
Job/step: check → Run check (make check)
Key log excerpt:

2026-03-23T15:50:54.5602340Z Error: some files are not up-to-date. Run 'make update' then review and commit the changes. Modified: [heartbeat/include/fields.go]
2026-03-23T15:50:54.5627342Z make: *** [Makefile:84: check] Error 1
2026-03-23T15:50:54.5645805Z ##[error]Process completed with exit code 2.

Validation

Reviewed failed job list for run 23446050208 (single failing job: check).
Parsed failed job log content and confirmed deterministic generated-file drift failure.
Local repro not run in this workflow context (read-only detective run).

Follow-up

If the regenerated diff in heartbeat/include/fields.go is unexpected, verify whether source field definitions were edited in this PR (or by merge-from-main) and regenerate once more from latest main.
