missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows tools and patterns first or exclusively in several places. Agent installation and automation examples mention PowerShell scripts and Microsoft Configuration Manager, with no explicit Linux command-line or automation examples. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) is linked primarily to its Windows documentation, and Linux support is only mentioned as a secondary note. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for agent installation, automation, or troubleshooting.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for agent installation and automation (e.g., bash scripts, systemd service setup).
- Mention Linux tools (such as Ansible, shell scripts, or native package managers) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Configuration Manager.
- Ensure that links to agent documentation include both Windows and Linux installation guides, and present them in parallel.
- Include troubleshooting steps and prerequisites for Linux environments, not just Windows.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
