Summary
The documentation provides detailed, step-by-step information for both Windows and Linux agent installation and configuration. However, Windows installation details are presented first and in greater depth, including specifics about MSI packages, Windows services, security groups, and Group Policy adjustments. Windows-specific tools and patterns (MSI, NT SERVICE accounts, Group Policy) are described before their Linux equivalents, and troubleshooting/logging paths are Windows-first. Linux instructions are present and reasonably detailed, but some advanced configuration and troubleshooting guidance (e.g., security groups, service accounts) are more thoroughly covered for Windows.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux sections, or present them in parallel tables to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Ensure Linux installation details include equivalent information on service accounts, security groups, and permissions, if applicable.
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting tips, such as SELinux/AppArmor considerations, systemd unit file locations, and log rotation.
  • Mention Linux package management commands (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) for agent installation and removal.
  • If Group Policy is discussed for Windows, mention Linux equivalents (e.g., PAM, sudoers, systemd service permissions) where relevant.
  • Include parity in advanced configuration examples, such as environment variable management and post-uninstall cleanup steps.
