Summary:
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias primarily through the extensive referencing of Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) system views and functions, many of which are Windows-centric or only available on Windows-based SQL Server deployments. There are no equivalent examples or references for Linux-based database systems (such as SAP HANA on Linux, PostgreSQL, or MySQL), nor are there examples of Linux-native monitoring tools or commands. The documentation also lists Windows-specific system views (e.g., sys.dm_os_windows_info) without Linux alternatives, and the MSSQL sections are significantly more detailed than those for Linux-based systems.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux-based database monitoring examples, such as for SAP HANA on Linux, PostgreSQL, or MySQL, where relevant.
- For each MSSQL/Windows-specific log table or reference, provide a Linux equivalent or explicitly state if none exists.
- Reference Linux-native monitoring tools (e.g., sar, top, vmstat, iostat) and how their data might be integrated or mapped to Azure Monitor tables.
- Balance the level of detail between Windows/MSSQL and Linux/SAP HANA/Prometheus sections, ensuring Linux users have parity in guidance and reference material.
- If certain features or tables are only available for Windows/MSSQL, clearly indicate this and provide guidance for Linux users on alternative monitoring strategies.
