Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-specific concepts (such as registry keys and Windows services) are described in detail, with entire sections and tables dedicated to Windows registry monitoring and example queries referencing Windows file paths and services before Linux equivalents. While Linux is mentioned and some parity is attempted (e.g., Linux daemons, Linux packages), Linux-specific examples are sparse or missing, especially for advanced scenarios (e.g., no Linux equivalent to the detailed registry key monitoring section, and alerting examples are Windows-heavy). Command-line examples use PowerShell-style syntax and focus on Windows first. Windows tools and patterns (like registry, services, .exe files) are discussed more thoroughly than their Linux counterparts.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux-focused sections, such as monitoring important Linux configuration files (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/ssh/sshd_config), and provide example queries for these.
- Include a table or section listing important Linux daemons and configuration files that are commonly tracked, similar to the Windows registry key table.
- Balance example queries so that Linux scenarios (e.g., tracking changes to /etc/hosts or systemd services) are presented alongside or before Windows examples.
- Provide more Linux-specific troubleshooting tips, limitations, and best practices, not just Windows-centric notes.
- Ensure that command-line examples are provided in both PowerShell and Bash (or at least clarify that az CLI commands are cross-platform and show Linux shell usage where appropriate).
- Review the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally throughout, rather than Windows-first.
