Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell tools are frequently mentioned first, and in some sections, Windows-specific instructions or links are provided before Linux equivalents. The manual configuration section links only to Windows VM identity guides for Azure portal, CLI, PowerShell, and templates, omitting direct links to Linux VM identity configuration. While most command examples do include both Windows and Linux variants, the ordering and linking patterns prioritize Windows. There is also a heavier emphasis on PowerShell, with more detailed steps and references compared to Linux/CLI.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that all identity configuration links in the manual configuration section include both Windows and Linux VM guides for Azure portal, CLI, PowerShell, and templates.
- Wherever examples are given for both Windows and Linux, alternate the order or present them in parallel tabs to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Add explicit Linux-focused instructions and links where only Windows examples or references are currently provided.
- Review the balance of PowerShell and CLI coverage to ensure Linux users have equally detailed guidance.
- In summary tables or lists, avoid using 'Windows' as the default or first option; instead, clarify applicability to both platforms.

Flagged Code Snippets
**Expected result**: Returns an XML document that contains the monitoring information of the virtual machine, its disks and network interfaces.
If the preceding check was not successful, run these additional checks:
1. Make sure that the waagent is installed and enabled.
a. Run `sudo ls -al /var/lib/waagent/`
**Expected result**: Lists the content of the waagent directory.
b. Run `ps -ax | grep waagent`
**Expected result**: Displays one entry similar to: `python /usr/sbin/waagent -daemon`
1. Make sure that the Azure Extension for SAP is installed and running.
a. Run `sudo sh -c 'ls -al /var/lib/waagent/Microsoft.AzureCAT.AzureEnhancedMonitoring.MonitorX64Linux-*/'`
**Expected result**: Lists the content of the Azure Extension for SAP directory.
b. Run `ps -ax | grep AzureEnhanced`
**Expected result**: Displays one entry similar to: `/var/lib/waagent/Microsoft.AzureCAT.AzureEnhancedMonitoring.MonitorX64Linux-1.0.0.82/AzureEnhancedMonitoring -monitor`
1. Install SAP Host Agent as described in SAP Note [1031096], and check the output of `saposcol`.
a. Run `/usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saposcol -d`
b. Run `dump ccm`
c. Check whether the **Virtualization_Configuration\Enhanced Monitoring Access** metric is **true**.
If you already have an SAP NetWeaver ABAP application server installed, open transaction ST06 and check whether monitoring is enabled.
If any of these checks fail, and for detailed information about how to redeploy the extension, see [Troubleshooting][troubleshooting]
## <a name="e2d592ff-b4ea-4a53-a91a-e5521edb6cd1"></a>Health checks
If some of the infrastructure data isn't delivered correctly as indicated by the tests described in [Readiness check][readiness-check], run the health checks described in this chapter to check whether the Azure infrastructure and the Azure Extension for SAP are configured correctly.
### [Azure PowerShell](#tab/powershell5)
1. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Azure PowerShell cmdlet (at least 4.3.0).
1. Run the following PowerShell cmdlet. For a list of available environments, run the cmdlet `Get-AzEnvironment`. To use global Azure, select the **AzureCloud** environment. For Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet, select **AzureChinaCloud**.
$env = Get-AzEnvironment -Name <name of the environment>
Connect-AzAccount -Environment $env
Set-AzContext -SubscriptionName <subscription name>
Set-AzVMAEMExtension -ResourceGroupName <resource group name> -VMName <virtual machine name> -InstallNewExtension
