Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. In field descriptions and examples, Windows formats (such as SID, domain\username, and Windows session IDs) are consistently listed before Linux or other equivalents. Windows-specific terminology and examples (e.g., C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe, Contoso\johndow) are prevalent, while Linux examples are present but less prominent and rarely first. Some field descriptions provide detailed guidance for Windows (such as session ID conversion) without equivalent Linux-specific notes. There are no PowerShell command examples or explicit omission of Linux tools, but the overall pattern prioritizes Windows concepts and formats.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples and formats in field descriptions and tables, or list them alphabetically to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Provide Linux-specific guidance and notes where Windows-specific advice is given (e.g., for session IDs or process paths).
  • Include more Linux-centric examples (e.g., /usr/bin/sshd for ActingAppName, Linux UIDs and group names) alongside Windows examples.
  • Where normalization is discussed, explicitly mention both Windows and Linux normalization patterns and field names.
  • Ensure that all field types and enumerations include Linux and cross-platform values with equal prominence.
  • Consider adding a section or examples that show how the schema applies to Linux-only environments.
