Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux and Windows in listing supported extensions and example payloads for both platforms. However, there is a slight bias toward Windows in the number of Windows-only extensions listed (e.g., Antimalware, Diagnostics, DSC, multiple GPU drivers), and some extension types (like Diagnostics and DSC) are only available for Windows. The troubleshooting section does not provide Linux-specific log file locations or commands, and there are no Linux shell or command-line examples (e.g., Bash, SSH) for interacting with extensions or troubleshooting, whereas Windows tools and patterns (such as certificateStoreLocation: LocalMachine) are mentioned. The Application Health section describes a generic HTTP server setup but does not provide Linux-specific guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps, including log file locations and example commands for viewing logs (e.g., using journalctl, tail, or cat).
  • Provide shell/Bash examples for interacting with extensions, retrieving status, and troubleshooting on Linux nodes.
  • Ensure that extension documentation links are balanced, and highlight Linux equivalents where only Windows tools are mentioned (e.g., for Diagnostics, DSC, Antimalware).
  • If certain extensions are Windows-only, explicitly state this and suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds.
  • Include examples of using SSH to connect to Linux nodes for troubleshooting, alongside any Windows RDP/PowerShell guidance.
