Summary
The documentation page describes deployment methods for the Azure Monitor agent on Arc-enabled servers, mentioning support for both Windows and Linux. However, examples and tooling references (PowerShell, Azure CLI, ARM templates) are presented in a way that prioritizes Windows-centric tools and patterns. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as a primary automation method, with no explicit Linux shell (e.g., Bash) or Linux-native scripting examples. There are no concrete Linux-specific instructions or examples, and the documentation does not clarify differences or considerations for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux shell (e.g., Bash) examples for deploying the Azure Monitor agent, alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify which deployment methods and tools are recommended or supported for Linux, including any differences in usage or prerequisites.
- Include references to Linux-native automation tools (such as Ansible, shell scripts, or cloud-init) where appropriate.
- Ensure that instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux are presented in parallel, or clearly indicate OS-specific steps.
- Add troubleshooting or notes specific to Linux environments, if applicable.
