Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on using Power BI Desktop, a Windows-only tool, for visualizing Azure NSG flow logs. There are no instructions or examples for Linux users, nor are alternative cross-platform or Linux-native visualization tools mentioned in the main body of the guide. The workflow assumes access to and use of Windows-specific software, and Linux alternatives are only referenced in a 'Next steps' link at the end.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit instructions or a parallel workflow for Linux users, such as using Power BI on the web (if supported for this scenario), or open-source alternatives like Grafana or Kibana.
- Mention cross-platform or Linux-compatible tools earlier in the documentation, not just as a 'next step'.
- Provide example commands or steps for accessing and preparing NSG flow logs on Linux (e.g., using Azure CLI, Python scripts, or other tools).
- Clarify in the prerequisites that Power BI Desktop is only available for Windows, and suggest alternatives for users on other operating systems.
- Consider offering a downloadable template or dashboard for open-source tools alongside the Power BI template.
