Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently mentioning Windows servers, tools, and patterns before Linux equivalents. Examples and details for Windows (such as installed roles and features) are more explicit, while Linux instructions are less detailed and sometimes missing. Windows credential and permission requirements are described first and in more depth, and Windows-centric workloads (SQL Server, IIS, .NET) are highlighted, with limited mention of Linux alternatives or open-source stacks.
Recommendations
- Provide equal detail and step-by-step examples for Linux server discovery, including credential setup and permissions.
- Include Linux-specific inventory attributes and examples (e.g., Apache/Nginx web apps, MySQL/PostgreSQL databases) alongside Windows workloads.
- List Linux instructions and requirements before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
- Expand documentation of software inventory for Linux servers, including installed packages and services, not just Windows roles/features.
- Add troubleshooting and remediation steps for common Linux discovery issues, similar to those provided for Windows.
- Ensure screenshots and UI examples show both Windows and Linux scenarios.
