Summary
The documentation focuses exclusively on using Power BI Desktop, a Windows-centric tool, for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor mention of cross-platform alternatives for the described workflow. The only alternative (Elastic Stack) is referenced in 'Next steps' and not integrated into the main guide.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions or alternatives for Linux/macOS users, such as using Power BI on the web, or open-source BI tools (e.g., Grafana, Kibana) for log visualization.
- Include cross-platform steps for downloading and parsing NSG flow logs, such as using Python, Azure CLI, or other tools available on Linux/macOS.
- Reorder or supplement the documentation so that open-source and cross-platform visualization options are presented alongside Power BI, not only as a 'next step'.
- Clarify system requirements and limitations for Power BI Desktop (Windows-only) early in the documentation.
