Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The PowerShell approach is presented before the Azure CLI approach, and PowerShell is referenced as the required method for enabling monitoring when the workspace is in a different subscription. The CLI instructions, while present, rely on tools (azcopy, jq) but do not provide explicit Linux shell examples or alternatives to PowerShell for common administrative tasks. References to Windows-specific documentation (e.g., 'Set up the Azure Monitor agent on Windows client devices') are included, and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools or shell scripting for equivalent operations. There are no Bash or Linux shell script examples for tasks like DCR creation, workspace management, or agent enablement, despite HDInsight clusters typically running on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI and Bash/Linux shell examples before or alongside PowerShell examples, especially for HDInsight clusters which are Linux-based.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific documentation unless there is a Linux equivalent; provide links to Linux agent setup guides where relevant.
  • Include explicit Bash or Linux shell script examples for all steps, such as DCR creation, workspace management, and agent enablement.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is not required for Linux-based clusters and provide guidance for Linux administrators.
  • Where tools like jq or azcopy are used, specify installation instructions for Linux and provide alternative commands if available.
  • Add a section or notes on platform parity, highlighting any differences or limitations between Windows and Linux approaches.
