Summary
The documentation page describes deployment methods for the Azure Monitor agent on Arc-enabled servers, mentioning both Windows and Linux support in the introduction. However, throughout the article, examples and tooling references (such as PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM templates) are presented without explicit Linux-specific guidance or parity. PowerShell is repeatedly referenced as a primary automation tool, and there are no concrete Linux shell (bash) or Linux-native tool examples. The documentation lacks explicit Linux command-line examples and does not mention Linux package managers or Linux-specific deployment nuances.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for deploying the agent, alongside PowerShell examples.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (such as cloud-init, Ansible, or shell scripts) for automation, not just PowerShell and Python.
- Clarify any Linux-specific steps or considerations, such as permissions, package dependencies, or service management.
- Ensure that tooling references (CLI, templates) include both Windows and Linux usage patterns, with examples for each.
- Consider reordering or balancing examples so that Linux and Windows are presented with equal prominence.
