Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing examples and descriptions that are specific to Windows environments (e.g., referencing Windows event IDs, Active Directory, and NTDomain identifiers) without offering equivalent Linux or cross-platform examples. The entity identifiers and sample queries are tailored to Windows-centric data sources, and there is no mention of Linux audit logs, syslog, or Linux user/group management events. The documentation assumes a Windows/Active Directory environment as the default context for customization, omitting guidance for organizations using Linux-based infrastructure.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples, such as detecting user group changes via Linux audit logs (e.g., /var/log/audit/audit.log) or syslog.
  • Provide sample KQL queries for common Linux security events (e.g., sudo usage, user creation, group membership changes) alongside Windows examples.
  • Expand the list of entity identifiers to include Linux-relevant fields, such as UID, GID, or Linux hostnames.
  • Mention Linux data sources (e.g., Syslog, Linux auditd) in the activity template and configuration sections.
  • Balance the documentation by presenting both Windows and Linux scenarios, or explicitly state if the feature is currently Windows-only.
