Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific concepts (such as registry keys, Windows services, and file paths) are described in greater detail and often appear before their Linux equivalents. The registry section is exclusively Windows-focused, with no Linux configuration file or daemon tracking examples. Example queries and alerting scenarios prioritize Windows file paths and services, with Linux examples being fewer and less detailed. The documentation also references Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry, c:\ paths, Windows services) more frequently and in more depth than Linux equivalents. While Linux is mentioned and supported, parity in examples and depth is lacking.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Linux-focused sections where Windows registry keys are discussed, such as tracking changes to important Linux configuration files (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/ssh/sshd_config) or daemon/service definitions.
- Ensure that for every Windows example (e.g., file paths, services, registry), a Linux example is provided with equal detail and explanation.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., alternate which OS is discussed first in tables and examples).
- Expand the alerting/query examples to include more Linux scenarios, such as tracking changes to systemd services, package installations, or critical config files.
- Where Windows-specific tools or concepts are introduced (e.g., registry, explorer.exe), provide a Linux equivalent or explicitly state the Linux alternative or lack thereof.
- Include screenshots and UI instructions that show both Windows and Linux contexts where applicable.
