Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell scripts are the primary or only example given for Azure Monitor ingestion, and the SIEM data migration accelerator deploys a Windows VM by default. While some tools (like AzCopy and Logstash) are cross-platform, the documentation emphasizes Windows-centric tools and patterns, often mentioning Windows or PowerShell before Linux alternatives. There is a lack of explicit Linux/bash examples or guidance, especially for key migration scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash or shell script examples for ingestion tasks, especially for Azure Monitor custom log ingestion.
  • Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to use cross-platform tools (like AzCopy, Logstash) on Linux, including installation and usage examples.
  • For the SIEM data migration accelerator, offer an option to deploy a Linux VM or container, or clarify how to run the migration tools on Linux.
  • Avoid defaulting to PowerShell in examples; where PowerShell is shown, also provide a Linux-compatible alternative (e.g., Python, bash, or REST API via curl).
  • In tool tables and descriptions, indicate OS compatibility and avoid listing Windows tools first unless there is a technical reason.
  • Highlight any limitations or differences in tool behavior between Windows and Linux, and provide workarounds if necessary.
