Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell remoting, WinRM, WMI, Windows authentication) are mentioned first and in detail throughout, with Linux equivalents (SSH, Linux commands) described only as secondary options. Many examples and requirements focus on Windows-specific technologies, such as PowerShell scripts and Windows user groups, while Linux instructions are brief and lack parity in detail. Critical features like SQL Server instance and ASP.NET web app discovery are not supported for Linux, and no Linux-specific configuration examples are provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples for all major steps, including appliance deployment, credential setup, and agent installation.
  • Include detailed Linux configuration instructions (e.g., required user/group memberships, sample SSH setup, sudoers configuration).
  • Offer Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and best practices.
  • Clarify feature gaps (e.g., SQL Server and ASP.NET web app discovery not supported on Linux) and suggest alternatives or workarounds.
  • Balance the order of presentation so Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than Windows-first.
  • Where features are Windows-only, explicitly state this early and provide links to roadmap or alternatives for Linux users.
