Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently listing Windows examples, tools, and concepts before their Linux equivalents. Windows-specific terminology (e.g., registry, services, file paths) is prevalent, and examples such as alert queries and configuration instructions often prioritize Windows scenarios. Powershell is used for both Windows and Linux extension installation, which may not be optimal for Linux users. Some configuration options (like data collection frequency) are only available for Windows resources, and alerting examples focus on Windows paths and registry keys, with fewer Linux-centric scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux examples and terminology are presented alongside or before Windows equivalents, especially in tables and code samples.
  • Provide Linux-native command examples (e.g., bash, shell scripts) for extension installation and configuration, rather than using Powershell for Linux.
  • Expand alerting and query examples to include common Linux scenarios, such as tracking changes to /etc/passwd, /etc/ssh/sshd_config, or systemd service states.
  • Clarify any feature parity gaps (such as configurable data collection frequency) and provide roadmaps or workarounds for Linux users.
  • Balance the documentation by alternating the order of Windows and Linux references in lists, tables, and examples.
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux-specific troubleshooting, limitations, and best practices.
