Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific concepts (e.g., registry keys, Windows services, Windows software, file paths like c:\...) are often discussed in more detail and appear before Linux equivalents. The registry tracking section is exclusively Windows-focused, with no Linux equivalent discussion. Example queries and alerting scenarios use Windows file paths and services first, with Linux examples appearing later or not at all. The use of PowerShell/Windows-centric command syntax is prevalent, and some features (like registry tracking) are only described for Windows, with no mention of Linux alternatives or limitations.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and explanations alongside Windows examples, especially in sections like alerting, file tracking, and service/daemon monitoring.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., alternate which OS is listed first in tables and examples).
- For sections that are Windows-only (such as registry tracking), explicitly state the lack of a Linux equivalent and, if possible, suggest analogous Linux features (e.g., tracking changes to /etc or systemd unit files).
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., bash, systemctl) where relevant, not just PowerShell or Windows CLI.
- Expand the alerting/query examples to include more Linux-centric scenarios (e.g., monitoring /etc/passwd, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, or Linux package changes).
- Clarify any feature limitations or differences for Linux, and provide guidance or workarounds where possible.
