Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several ways. Windows log collection is discussed before Linux, with more detailed and varied solutions (e.g., Windows Event Forwarding, PowerShell, ARM templates) and specific references to Windows tools and patterns. Some solutions (like PowerShell and Windows Event Forwarding) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or are presented as default approaches. Linux solutions are grouped together and sometimes lack the same level of detail or practical examples. In some cases, Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell) are suggested without mentioning Linux alternatives, and the documentation often lists Windows methods before Linux ones, even in cross-platform sections.
Recommendations:
- Ensure Linux and Windows sections are given equal prominence and detail, possibly by interleaving examples or providing parallel solution tables.
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Windows Event Forwarding), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash scripts, Syslog forwarding) in the same context.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, systemd, rsyslog configuration) wherever PowerShell or Windows commands are given.
- Avoid presenting Windows solutions first by default; alternate the order or present both platforms together where possible.
- Expand Linux solution details to match the depth provided for Windows, including practical configuration steps and considerations.
- Review endpoint and cloud platform sections to ensure Linux-native tools and patterns are included and described with parity.
