Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools (Windows Event Forwarding, PowerShell) are mentioned more frequently and sometimes before Linux equivalents; examples and solutions for Windows are more detailed and numerous; some sections (e.g., endpoint solutions, cloud platform data) list Windows methods without Linux alternatives; PowerShell is suggested for custom log collection, but no Linux shell or scripting example is given; and Windows terminology and tools are referenced more often than Linux ones.
Recommendations
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific tool or method (e.g., Windows Event Forwarding, PowerShell), an equivalent Linux solution (e.g., Syslog forwarding, Bash scripting) is provided and described.
- Present Linux and Windows solutions in parallel, rather than listing Windows options first or exclusively.
- Add Linux-specific examples for custom log collection, such as using Bash, Python, or other common Linux scripting tools.
- Include Linux endpoint solutions (e.g., auditd, sysmon for Linux, EDR connectors for Linux) where only Windows endpoint solutions are mentioned.
- Review all tables and solution lists to ensure Linux parity in detail and coverage.
- Avoid using Windows terminology as the default; clarify when a solution is platform-specific.
