Summary
The documentation page is generally Linux-focused, as it describes ingesting syslog and CEF messages from Linux machines and network devices into Microsoft Sentinel. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell is mentioned as a method for installing the Azure Monitor Agent before Azure CLI, and Windows tools (PowerShell) are referenced in the installation instructions, even though the context is Linux. Additionally, the documentation sometimes references Azure portal workflows and tools that are more familiar to Windows administrators, and the order of presenting PowerShell before CLI may reinforce a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
  • When listing installation methods for the Azure Monitor Agent, present Azure CLI before PowerShell, or explicitly state that PowerShell is for Windows and CLI is for Linux.
  • Remove or clarify references to PowerShell in Linux-focused instructions, ensuring Linux-native tools (bash, CLI) are prioritized.
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples where only generic or Windows-centric instructions are given.
  • Ensure that any screenshots or UI references do not assume a Windows environment or familiarity with Windows tools.
  • Where both Windows and Linux options exist, always present Linux options first in Linux-focused documentation.
