Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting PowerShell-based instructions before CLI alternatives, referencing Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell and azcopy), and linking to Windows client device documentation. There is a lack of explicit Linux shell examples, and the use of tools like jq and azcopy is mentioned without clarifying their cross-platform availability or alternatives. The migration and enablement steps are primarily described in terms of Windows-centric workflows, with no mention of Linux-specific nuances or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell (bash) examples alongside PowerShell, especially for steps involving scripting and automation.
- Clarify the cross-platform availability of tools like azcopy and jq, and suggest installation steps for Linux environments.
- Include references to Linux documentation (e.g., 'Set up the Azure Monitor agent on Linux client devices') where appropriate.
- Explicitly state that all CLI commands are supported on Linux and macOS, and highlight any OS-specific differences.
- Reorder sections so that CLI instructions (which are cross-platform) are presented before PowerShell instructions to avoid Windows-first bias.
- Add troubleshooting tips or notes for common issues encountered on Linux systems.
