Summary
The documentation is overwhelmingly Linux-focused, with nearly all examples and instructions referencing Linux devices and agents as the syslog destination. However, there are a few instances of Windows bias: the Oracle Database Audit section mentions 'Event Viewer' (a Windows tool) alongside syslog, and the Ivanti Unified Endpoint Management section links to Windows-specific documentation. Additionally, the documentation does not provide explicit parity for Windows-based syslog collectors or agents, nor does it offer PowerShell or Windows-native configuration examples, which may disadvantage Windows administrators.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions or examples for configuring Windows-based syslog collectors (such as NXLog, Snare, or Windows Syslog Agent) as destinations for appliances and devices.
- Where appliances support forwarding to Windows servers, clarify how to configure the Microsoft Sentinel agent on Windows and reference relevant documentation.
- Include PowerShell or Windows Event Forwarding examples where applicable, especially for appliances that can send logs to Windows Event Viewer.
- Ensure that any mention of Event Viewer or Windows tools is accompanied by Linux equivalents, and vice versa, to maintain parity.
- Review and update sections that link only to Windows documentation (e.g., Ivanti) to include Linux alternatives if available.
