Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform and acknowledges both Windows and Linux scenarios, especially in the context of log forwarders and syslog. However, there are several areas where Windows bias is evident: Windows tools (PowerShell) are mentioned first when installing the Azure Monitor Agent, and explicit Linux command-line examples are missing for agent installation. The ARM template section references PowerShell before CLI, and there are no step-by-step Linux-specific installation instructions (e.g., apt/yum commands). The portal-based instructions are generic but the screenshots and flow are more aligned with Azure VM management, which is more familiar to Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux installation instructions for the Azure Monitor Agent (e.g., apt/yum commands, systemctl usage).
- Provide Linux CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell examples, or at least present them in parallel tabs.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux VM resource selection and agent association.
- Clarify any differences in file path patterns or permissions for Linux vs. Windows.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and configuration notes include Linux-specific guidance (e.g., SELinux, systemd).
