Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In the 'SDK version in IoT Hub logs' section, all concrete examples of the sdkVersion property use Windows platforms (e.g., Node.js on Windows, .NET on Windows), with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. Additionally, the only linked sample for reading events from Event Hubs is a .NET example, which is most commonly associated with Windows environments. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform CLI examples, nor are Linux tools or shell commands mentioned anywhere. The documentation relies heavily on Azure portal screenshots and Kusto queries, which are platform-neutral, but the lack of Linux-specific examples or references may leave Linux users underserved.
Recommendations
  • Add examples of sdkVersion properties for devices running on Linux and macOS platforms (e.g., Node.js on Ubuntu, Python on Raspbian).
  • Include links to Event Hubs client samples for Python, Java, or Node.js, which are commonly used on Linux.
  • Where possible, provide Azure CLI or Bash command examples for monitoring and diagnostics setup, in addition to portal instructions.
  • Explicitly mention that the SDKs and monitoring tools are cross-platform, and provide guidance for Linux users where workflows differ.
  • Balance screenshots and instructions with text-based steps that can be performed on any OS, especially for automation scenarios.
