Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is the only CLI tool shown for configuring NSG flow log properties (specifically, setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes), with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native examples. The troubleshooting and workflow sections reference PowerShell and Windows-centric tools first or exclusively. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples for managing or analyzing NSG flow logs, and the use of Windows tools (such as PowerShell and Power BI) is mentioned before or instead of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all configuration and management tasks, especially for setting properties like FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- Explicitly mention Linux-compatible tools and workflows for reading, exporting, and analyzing NSG flow logs (e.g., jq, grep, Azure CLI, Python scripts).
- Ensure that visualization and export guides include Linux-first or cross-platform instructions, not just Power BI or Windows-centric tools.
- Where possible, provide parity in troubleshooting steps for Linux users (e.g., using Azure CLI or REST API calls).
- Review and update all references to tools and patterns to ensure Linux and cross-platform options are presented equally or before Windows-specific ones.
