Summary
The documentation for Microsoft Sentinel data connectors is largely cross-platform, but there are several instances where Windows-specific tools, patterns, or terminology are mentioned before their Linux equivalents, or where Windows is implicitly prioritized. For example, connectors such as 'IIS Logs of Microsoft Exchange Servers', 'Microsoft Active-Directory Domain Controllers Security Event Logs', and 'Windows DNS Events via AMA' focus on Windows event sources and reference Windows agents. Additionally, some sections refer to 'Windows machines' or 'Windows agent' without always providing Linux alternatives or mentioning Linux parity, even when the underlying Azure Monitor Agent supports both platforms.
Recommendations
- Wherever possible, clarify when connectors or agents are cross-platform (e.g., Azure Monitor Agent supports both Windows and Linux) and provide explicit instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users.
- When listing event sources or log types (e.g., IIS, Windows Event Logs), consider also mentioning common Linux equivalents (e.g., Apache/Nginx logs, Syslog) and linking to relevant connectors.
- Avoid using 'Windows machines' or 'Windows agent' as the default terminology in generic sections—use 'machines' or 'agents' and specify platform differences only where necessary.
- For connectors that are Windows-specific by necessity (e.g., IIS logs, Windows Firewall), clearly label them as such to set user expectations.
- Ensure that any prerequisites or setup steps referencing PowerShell, Windows Event Viewer, or other Windows tools also provide Linux/CLI alternatives where applicable.
