Summary
The documentation exclusively describes using Power BI Desktop, a Windows-only tool, for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. All setup and usage instructions assume the reader is on Windows, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or cross-platform options. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, and the workflow is centered around Windows tooling from the outset.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using Power BI on the web (if supported for this scenario), or alternative open-source visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Kibana, or Jupyter Notebooks).
- Explicitly mention platform requirements and offer guidance for non-Windows users at the start of the article.
- Where possible, include cross-platform scripts or methods for downloading and parsing NSG flow logs (e.g., using Python, Azure CLI, or Bash scripts).
- Reference and link to the 'Visualize Azure Network Watcher NSG flow logs using open source tools' article earlier in the page, and summarize its relevance for Linux users.
- Consider providing a table comparing visualization options for Windows and Linux, highlighting supported features and limitations.
