Summary
The documentation page demonstrates moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is the only CLI tool shown for configuring NSG flow log properties (e.g., FlowTimeoutInMinutes), and the example references the Windows-centric Set-AzVirtualNetwork cmdlet. No equivalent Azure CLI (az network) or REST API example is provided for Linux/macOS users. Additionally, Power BI is listed before open-source visualization tools, and PowerShell-based reading of logs is highlighted before other methods.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az network) and REST API examples for all configuration tasks, especially for setting FlowTimeoutInMinutes.
- Include Linux/macOS-friendly instructions for reading and exporting NSG flow logs, such as using jq, az storage blob, or Python scripts.
- Present visualization options in a neutral order (e.g., list Power BI, Grafana, Elastic Stack, Graylog together, or alternate order).
- Reference cross-platform tools and workflows wherever possible, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default.
- Explicitly state that all tasks can be performed from Linux/macOS and provide links or examples.
