Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. Windows terminology, formats, and examples are frequently used, such as Windows-style hostnames (e.g., 'DESKTOP-1282V4D'), domain formats (domain\hostname), and file paths (e.g., 'C:\Windows\explorer.exe'). Windows is often mentioned first or exclusively in field descriptions, and Windows-specific formats are referenced as defaults. Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux-style hostnames, file paths, process IDs) are not shown in examples, and Linux-specific terminology is rarely mentioned. The documentation does acknowledge Linux in some places (e.g., process ID types), but does not provide parity in examples or guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples alongside Windows examples, such as Linux-style hostnames (e.g., 'ubuntu-server'), file paths (e.g., '/usr/bin/sshd'), and process names.
  • Mention Linux formats and conventions explicitly in field descriptions, especially where Windows formats are referenced (e.g., FQDN, process IDs, domain formats).
  • Include guidance for Linux users on how to normalize or convert Linux-specific values (e.g., hexadecimal PIDs, process names, interface names like 'eth0').
  • Ensure that examples and field descriptions alternate or balance between Windows and Linux to avoid implying Windows as the default or preferred platform.
  • Add references to Linux tools and patterns where relevant (e.g., netstat, ifconfig, systemd process names) in addition to Windows tools.
