+# Logs-only Integration
+
+This type of integration only includes logs pipelines and config.
+To help customers get started with their config we turn this integration into a Python package that can be installed in the Agent.
+
+We release these integrations just like real checks and manage the changelog with towncrier in integrations-core.
