Summary
The documentation claims support for both Windows and Linux, but several sections exhibit Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Windows Event Log) are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and installation instructions often reference PowerShell before Azure CLI (which is more cross-platform). Linux-specific details are present but less emphasized, and there are no explicit Linux command-line examples for installing the Azure Monitor Agent or configuring the data connector. Screenshots and UI references are generic, but the step-by-step instructions and links tend to prioritize Windows approaches.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for installing and configuring the Azure Monitor Agent (e.g., using Azure CLI, shell commands).
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., syslog, rsyslog, syslog-ng) alongside Windows Event Log in introductory sections, not only in log forwarder context.
- Ensure that instructions for both platforms are presented in parallel or with equal prominence (e.g., tabs for Windows and Linux throughout setup steps).
- Include troubleshooting and configuration notes specific to Linux environments, such as SELinux, file permissions, and service management.
- Add screenshots or UI references for Linux VM selection and agent installation, not just generic VM lists.
- Review and balance the order of presenting Windows and Linux instructions/examples so neither is consistently prioritized.
