Summary
The documentation provides a general tutorial for enabling VM insights on hybrid machines, claiming support for both Linux and Windows. However, when discussing log events, it only references the Windows event log and does not provide equivalent Linux log examples (e.g., syslog). The Event table is described as containing Windows event log data, with no mention of Linux log sources or queries. There are no Linux-specific screenshots, examples, or instructions, and Windows terminology (event log) is used exclusively in the data viewing section.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and screenshots for Linux machines, showing how Linux logs (such as syslog or journald) are collected and queried.
  • Clarify what tables and data are available for Linux machines in Log Analytics, and provide sample queries.
  • Use neutral terminology when describing log events (e.g., 'system logs') and mention both Windows and Linux sources.
  • Ensure parity in instructions and visuals for both platforms throughout the tutorial.
