Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. In the 'SDK version in IoT Hub logs' section, the only concrete examples of the sdkVersion property use Windows platforms (Node.js on Windows, .NET on Windows), with no Linux or macOS equivalents. Additionally, when referencing sample code for reading events from Azure Event Hubs, only a .NET (Windows-centric) sample is linked, with no mention of Linux-friendly languages or tools. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the platform references and sample links prioritize Windows environments and omit Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
  • Add sdkVersion examples for devices running on Linux and macOS platforms (e.g., Node.js on Ubuntu, Python on Raspberry Pi OS, .NET on Linux).
  • When referencing sample code for Event Hubs or other SDKs, include links to samples in cross-platform languages (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js) and clarify their compatibility with Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that all SDKs and monitoring tools are supported on Linux, and provide guidance or screenshots for Linux users where portal or CLI usage may differ.
  • Where platform-specific properties (such as sdkVersion) are shown, provide a table or list of typical values for Linux and macOS in addition to Windows.
  • Ensure that any instructions for setting up monitoring, alerts, or diagnostics include CLI or automation examples that work on Linux (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts), not just portal screenshots.
