Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools and workflows (such as Event Viewer logs and Windows Performance Counters), providing links and instructions only for Windows-based Log Analytics agent installation, and omitting any mention of Linux equivalents or guidance for Linux-based SHIR hosts. There are no examples, instructions, or references for configuring log analytics collection on Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Add a section describing how to instrument Linux-based SHIR hosts for log analytics collection, including installation of the Log Analytics agent on Linux and relevant prerequisites.
- Provide equivalent examples for configuring log collection and performance counters on Linux (e.g., syslog, Linux performance counters, or custom logs).
- Include links to Azure documentation for installing and configuring the Log Analytics agent on Linux virtual machines.
- Clearly indicate in each section whether the instructions apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and provide parity in guidance and screenshots.
- Mention any limitations or differences in monitoring capabilities between Windows and Linux SHIR hosts.
