Summary
The documentation covers troubleshooting for both Windows and Linux Azure Connected Machine agent installations, but there is evidence of Windows bias. Windows examples and log file paths are presented first, and PowerShell-specific commands and references (such as using '&' and environment variables) are prominent. Windows log file locations and troubleshooting steps are often mentioned before Linux equivalents. There are also references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, '%TEMP%', '%ProgramData%') without always providing the Linux equivalent in the same context.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side, or alternate which platform is shown first in each section.
  • Ensure all troubleshooting steps referencing Windows-specific tools or paths (e.g., '%TEMP%', '%ProgramData%') are immediately followed by Linux equivalents (e.g., '/tmp', '/var/opt/azcmagent').
  • Where PowerShell syntax is used, provide equivalent Bash commands for Linux users.
  • Clarify when a solution or log location is platform-specific, and provide parity for Linux wherever possible.
  • Consider using generic command syntax (e.g., 'azcmagent ...') before showing platform-specific examples.
