Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific tools, services, and logs before or instead of their Linux equivalents. Examples and descriptions often focus on Windows environments (e.g., Windows event logs, Windows servers, System Center Data Protection Manager) with limited or no mention of Linux-specific tools, logs, or workflows. Where Linux is mentioned, it is typically as an afterthought or in a secondary position. There are few, if any, Linux-specific examples or guidance, and some monitoring and diagnostic sections omit Linux details entirely.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows examples, such as using syslog for Linux event collection.
- When describing features (e.g., Azure Monitor logs, Diagnostics), explicitly mention Linux support and detail how to configure and use these features on Linux systems.
- Avoid using Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, System Center DPM) as the default or only example; include equivalent Linux tools (e.g., Bash, rsyslog, cron) where applicable.
- In tables and feature lists, ensure parity by listing both Windows and Linux capabilities and agents equally.
- Add Linux-focused troubleshooting and configuration guidance, such as how to install and configure the Azure Monitor agent on Linux, and how to collect and analyze Linux logs.
- Review and update diagrams and screenshots to include Linux scenarios, not just Windows-centric ones.
