Summary
The documentation page generally aims for cross-platform coverage, but there are several signs of Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell) are mentioned first or exclusively in some installation instructions. The portal-based setup instructions use screenshots and UI flows that are more familiar to Windows users, and PowerShell is referenced before Azure CLI (which is more common on Linux). There is a lack of explicit Linux command-line examples for installing the Azure Monitor Agent, and the ARM template instructions do not provide Linux-specific file path examples. While Linux log forwarder setup is covered, the overall flow and examples tend to prioritize Windows approaches or omit Linux parity in some areas.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for installing the Azure Monitor Agent, such as using apt, yum, or direct shell commands.
- When listing installation methods, mention Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell, and clarify which is preferred for Linux users.
- Include Linux-specific file path examples (e.g., /var/log/app.log) in ARM template documentation.
- Add screenshots or instructions for Linux environments (e.g., SSH terminal setup, Linux VM resource selection).
- Ensure that all steps and prerequisites have parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail and prominence.
- Highlight differences in agent installation and configuration between Windows and Linux, including troubleshooting tips for each platform.
