Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows/PowerShell tools and patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively, especially for features, storage, and application inventory. Windows-specific tools (WMI, PowerShell cmdlets, Registry, Get-WindowsFeature, etc.) are detailed extensively, while Linux equivalents are less prominent or missing (e.g., storage metadata, feature discovery). Some sections (e.g., ASP.NET, Java, Spring Boot web app data) only describe collection from Windows servers, with no mention of Linux support or parity.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific example or tool (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, WMI classes), provide equivalent Linux commands or tools where possible.
- Ensure that sections describing feature, storage, and application inventory data collection include Linux-specific methods and commands, or explicitly state if Linux is not supported.
- When listing data collection methods, avoid always listing Windows first; alternate or group by platform.
- For web app data (ASP.NET, Java, Spring Boot), clarify if Linux servers are supported for discovery, and if so, document the Linux collection methods.
- Expand the storage metadata section to include Linux storage discovery commands (e.g., lsblk, df, lvs, pvs, etc.) if supported.
- Where Windows registry or PowerShell is referenced, provide Linux equivalents (e.g., config files, systemd, etc.) or note limitations.
- Add explicit notes where a feature is Windows-only, to avoid ambiguity.
