Summary
The documentation demonstrates several Windows biases: Windows examples and requirements are often presented first, with more detail and explicit instructions (e.g., PowerShell scripts, WinRM configuration, SQL Server discovery). Windows-specific tools and patterns (PowerShell, WinRM, WMI) are referenced throughout, while Linux equivalents are mentioned only briefly or generically (e.g., 'ensure SSH connectivity' and list of commands). Critical features such as SQL Server instance/database and ASP.NET web app discovery are not supported on Linux, and there are no Linux-specific setup scripts or detailed walkthroughs. Linux support is described in general terms, with fewer actionable examples and less guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel examples for setup, configuration, and troubleshooting, including sample scripts for Linux environments.
  • Expand Linux documentation to match the depth of Windows instructions, especially for appliance setup, port configuration, and software inventory.
  • Clearly indicate feature parity gaps (e.g., SQL Server and ASP.NET web app discovery not supported on Linux) and suggest alternative approaches or workarounds for Linux users.
  • Include links to Linux-specific resources and troubleshooting guides.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, offer equivalent Bash/SSH command examples for Linux.
  • List Linux requirements and steps before or alongside Windows, not after.
