Summary
The documentation describes deployment methods for the Azure Monitor agent on both Windows and Linux Arc-enabled servers, but examples and tooling references (e.g., PowerShell, Azure CLI) are presented generically or with a slight Windows-first bias. PowerShell is mentioned before Python when discussing Azure Automation, and there are no explicit Linux shell (bash) or Linux-specific example commands. The documentation does not provide parity in showing Linux-native tooling or step-by-step Linux examples, which may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for deploying the extension via Azure CLI and ARM templates.
- When referencing scripting in Azure Automation, provide both PowerShell and Python examples, and clarify which is recommended for Linux targets.
- Include links or sections specifically for Linux users, such as troubleshooting Linux agent installation or verifying agent status on Linux.
- Ensure that references to PowerShell are balanced with Linux equivalents (e.g., bash, sh, or Python) where appropriate.
