Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes how to create activity log alerts using the Azure Portal GUI, with no mention of command-line or scripting alternatives. There are no examples using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or any platform-specific tools. However, the lack of Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Linux-specific instructions means Linux users do not see parity with Windows users who may be more accustomed to GUI or PowerShell workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add step-by-step instructions for creating activity log alerts using the Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include example scripts for automating alert creation, highlighting both PowerShell (for Windows) and Bash (for Linux/macOS) usage.
- Explicitly mention that the Azure Portal is accessible from any OS, but provide parity by showing how to accomplish the same tasks from the command line.
- Link to documentation on using Azure CLI and ARM templates for alert rule creation, to support automation and Linux-first workflows.
