For example, Analytics log files such as `analytics_debug.log` and `analytics_periodic_dump.log` remain unencrypted even when encryption-at-rest for logs is enabled.

* Couchbase Server stores most XDCR metadata — remote cluster references and replication specifications — using the same mechanism as other configuration data. When you enable encryption for configuration data, Couchbase Server also encrypts this XDCR metadata.
XDCR checkpoints, collection manifests, and broken maps use a separate storage mechanism (simple_store). Couchbase Server treats XDCR's log file (goxdcr.log) like other log files, and encrypts it when you enable encryption for logs.

In line 99, this sentence is a bit confusing since it leaves me with a question -- so, are these encrypted? Also, the customers do not need to know that they are stored in an internal storage called "simple_store" since that can be changed at any time.

First sentence in line 99:
XDCR checkpoints, collection manifests, and broken maps use a separate storage mechanism (simple_store).

We should just say:
XDCR checkpoints, collection manifests, and broken maps are stored in a separate internal storage mechanism, and they are encrypted as well.

I had one minor comment about the first sentence in line 99 in native-encryption-at-rest-overview.adoc.

Otherwise, lgtm.

I went ahead and approved (trust that any needed changes will be made).
