Summary:
The documentation repeatedly references 'Windows Security Events' and 'Windows Events' as primary examples of log sources, with no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Linux audit logs or syslog from Linux VMs) in the context of VM log collection. The only mention of syslog is as a network device/on-premises source, not as a core VM workload. The log collection agent (Azure Monitoring Agent, AMA) is discussed only in the context of Windows VMs, with no explicit mention of Linux VM support or examples. This creates a subtle Windows bias, as Linux scenarios are not equally represented.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention Linux VMs as supported sources for log collection, alongside Windows VMs, in all relevant sections.
- Provide examples of collecting Linux audit logs and syslog from Linux VMs, not just from network devices.
- When describing the Azure Monitoring Agent (AMA), clarify that it supports both Windows and Linux, and provide example configurations for both platforms.
- In lists of data sources, include Linux-specific logs (e.g., /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/secure, auditd) where appropriate.
- Balance the mention/order of Windows and Linux examples to avoid the impression that Windows is the default or only supported platform.
