Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Sentinel data connectors demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Many connectors, especially those for Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, IIS, and Windows Firewall, explicitly mention streaming logs from 'Windows machines' using the 'Windows agent' or Azure Monitor Agent, with no equivalent Linux instructions or examples. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., Windows Event logs, Windows DNS, Windows Firewall) are referenced without mention of Linux alternatives. In some cases, connectors for generic log types (e.g., custom logs, syslog) do mention Linux, but Windows is often listed first or exclusively, and Linux-specific patterns or examples are missing or less detailed.
Recommendations
- For connectors that currently mention only Windows agents or Windows Event logs, add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux systems, including supported Linux distributions and agent installation steps.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., Windows Firewall, Windows DNS) are referenced, provide parity by mentioning Linux equivalents (e.g., iptables, nftables, BIND, Unbound) and how to collect their logs.
- Ensure that generic log collection connectors (e.g., custom logs, syslog) provide balanced examples for both Windows and Linux, including troubleshooting tips for each platform.
- Review the ordering and prominence of examples and instructions to avoid listing Windows first by default; alternate or group by OS where appropriate.
- Where prerequisites or agent installation instructions are given, provide explicit Linux instructions alongside Windows, including command-line examples for Linux.
