Summary
The documentation exclusively describes using Power BI Desktop, a Windows-centric application, for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. All setup and usage instructions assume the reader is using Windows, with no mention of Linux-compatible tools, alternatives, or cross-platform workflows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor any mention of Power BI on Linux or web-based alternatives until a brief 'Next steps' section referencing Elastic Stack.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux users, such as how to access NSG flow logs and visualize them using open source or cross-platform tools (e.g., Elastic Stack, Grafana, Kibana).
- Include Linux-specific setup instructions or examples, such as using Azure CLI, Python, or other scripting languages to download and process logs.
- Mention Power BI web service as a possible alternative for non-Windows users, if applicable.
- Present open source or cross-platform visualization options earlier in the document, not only in 'Next steps', to ensure parity and visibility.
- Clarify platform requirements at the beginning and provide links to equivalent Linux workflows.
