Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on using Power BI Desktop, a Windows-centric tool, for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. All setup and usage instructions assume the reader is using Windows, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or cross-platform approaches. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor are open-source or cross-platform visualization tools discussed until the 'Next steps' section, which is secondary to the main content.
Recommendations
- Include instructions or examples for visualizing NSG flow logs using Power BI on non-Windows platforms, such as Power BI web or Power BI on Mac (if available).
- Provide parallel examples using open-source, cross-platform tools (e.g., Grafana, Kibana/Elastic Stack) within the main body of the documentation, not just as a 'Next steps' link.
- Explicitly mention platform requirements and alternatives at the beginning of the article, so Linux and Mac users are aware of their options.
- Add a comparison table of visualization tools, indicating OS compatibility and feature parity.
- Offer guidance for exporting or transforming NSG flow logs for use in Linux-friendly BI or visualization tools.
