Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows tools and technologies (PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, Windows authentication) are mentioned first and in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. SQL Server discovery and web app discovery are supported only or primarily for Windows, with Linux support explicitly missing or limited. Example scripts and configuration details are provided only for Windows authentication and SQL Server, with no equivalent Linux database discovery or configuration guidance. Windows-specific ports, permissions, and patterns (such as domain accounts, WMI, WinRM) are described in detail, while Linux instructions are minimal or absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples and scripts for database discovery and permissions, especially for popular Linux databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MariaDB.
  • Include Linux-first or Linux-parity instructions for appliance deployment, credential management, and agent installation.
  • Expand web app discovery documentation to cover Linux web servers (Apache, Nginx) and provide configuration steps for those environments.
  • Describe Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, sudoers configuration, systemd service management) with the same level of detail as Windows tools.
  • Ensure that port and protocol requirements are documented for both Windows and Linux environments, including alternatives to WinRM and WMI for Linux.
  • Add troubleshooting and best practices sections for Linux environments, matching the coverage given to Windows.
  • Explicitly state limitations for Linux support in all relevant sections, and provide a roadmap or guidance for future parity.
