Summary
The documentation page exclusively describes using Power BI Desktop—a Windows-only application—for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. All instructions and examples assume the user is on Windows, with no mention of Linux-compatible BI tools or how to perform similar tasks on Linux. The setup steps, screenshots, and workflow are centered around Power BI Desktop, and there are no alternative examples or guidance for Linux users. While there is a 'Next steps' link to Elastic Stack (an open-source, cross-platform tool), the main content is heavily Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions for visualizing NSG flow logs using Linux-compatible BI tools (e.g., Tableau on Linux, Grafana, Kibana/Elastic Stack).
- Explicitly mention platform requirements for Power BI Desktop and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
- Provide sample scripts or workflows for parsing and visualizing NSG flow logs on Linux, such as using Python (pandas, matplotlib) or open-source dashboard tools.
- Reorder or balance the documentation so that Windows and Linux options are presented with equal prominence.
- Include a comparison table of visualization options for different operating systems.
