Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based instructions and cmdlets for configuring Azure Monitor on the device. There are no Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform CLI examples for the key configuration steps, and the connection instructions reference only the PowerShell interface. The sample output also uses PowerShell prompts, reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash or cross-platform Azure CLI commands for all configuration steps, especially for connecting to the device and setting Azure Monitor configuration.
  • Document how to connect to the device using SSH or other Linux-friendly methods, if supported.
  • Include sample outputs and command prompts for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash) environments.
  • Clearly state if certain steps or cmdlets are only available on Windows, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
  • Review and update screenshots and instructions to reflect parity between Windows and Linux usage where possible.
