Summary

The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows DNS servers. All examples, prerequisites, and configuration steps are tailored exclusively to Windows Server, with no mention of Linux-based DNS servers or how to achieve similar functionality on Linux. Windows tools, logs, and event types are referenced throughout, and there are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance provided.

Recommendations

Add equivalent instructions and examples for collecting and filtering DNS logs from Linux-based DNS servers (e.g., BIND, Unbound, dnsmasq).
Include prerequisites and setup steps for Linux environments, such as supported distributions, required packages, and log file locations.
Provide API and portal configuration examples that reference Linux data sources and illustrate how to normalize and ingest Linux DNS logs.
Reference Linux tools and logging patterns (e.g., systemd-journald, syslog, logrotate) alongside Windows event logs.
Clarify in the introduction and prerequisites whether Linux DNS servers are supported, and if not, provide guidance or links to alternative solutions for Linux environments.
