Summary
The documentation consistently presents Windows troubleshooting steps before Linux equivalents, with detailed instructions using Windows-specific tools (services.msc, Control Panel, MSI installer, .NET dependency). Linux troubleshooting is less detailed and lacks parity in step-by-step guidance. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively, while Linux instructions are more generic and do not reference equivalent Linux tools (e.g., systemctl status, package managers).
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux troubleshooting sections, or present them side-by-side for parity.
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux, including commands to check agent status, uninstall/reinstall the agent, and verify dependencies.
  • Reference Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, package managers like apt/yum/zypper) where Windows tools are mentioned.
  • List Linux prerequisites (e.g., Python, required libraries) similar to the mention of .NET for Windows.
  • Include direct links to Linux agent packages for major distributions and instructions for manual installation if repository installation is not possible.
  • Ensure that all troubleshooting steps for Windows have a Linux equivalent, and vice versa.
