Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-based data connectors and tooling. Windows-specific agents and event types (e.g., Windows agent, SecurityEvent, W3CIISLog) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux equivalents are only referenced in a single entry (Syslog via Legacy Agent) and not in parity with the Windows coverage. The documentation for Microsoft Exchange and Security Events focuses solely on Windows machines and agents, with no comparable Linux event collection examples or guidance. Additionally, links and instructions for agent installation reference Windows-centric tabs and tools, and Linux agent scenarios are not equally detailed.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-based examples and instructions alongside Windows ones for all relevant connectors, especially for event and log collection.
- Ensure that agent installation documentation references both Windows and Linux agents equally, with clear parity in detail and guidance.
- Include Linux event types (such as auditd, auth.log, etc.) and their mapping to Log Analytics tables where applicable.
- Where Windows-specific tools or logs are mentioned (e.g., W3CIISLog, SecurityEvent), add Linux equivalents (e.g., Apache/Nginx logs, Syslog, audit logs) and describe their ingestion.
- Review all prerequisite and setup sections to ensure Linux users are not omitted and have clear, actionable steps.
