Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently listing Windows Security Events and Windows Events as primary log sources, mentioning Windows tools (such as the Azure Monitoring Agent) with explicit reference to Windows VMs, and providing no explicit examples or instructions for Linux VMs or Linux-specific log collection. Syslog and CEF are mentioned, but only in passing and without parity in detail or tooling. There are no Linux-centric examples, nor are Linux collection patterns or agent configurations described.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and instructions for collecting logs from Linux VMs, including security and performance data.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for log collection agents (e.g., AMA on Linux, OMS agent, or native syslog forwarding).
  • Provide Linux-specific log source examples (e.g., /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/syslog) alongside Windows Event Log.
  • Ensure that references to log collection tools and patterns are platform-neutral or include both Windows and Linux usage.
  • Where agent configuration is discussed, show both Windows and Linux setup steps and considerations.
  • List Linux log sources before or alongside Windows sources to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
