Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by recommending and documenting tools (such as LightIngest) that are Windows-only, without providing Linux alternatives or guidance for non-Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific examples or instructions, and the documentation does not clarify cross-platform compatibility for other tools (such as AzCopy or the Custom Log Ingestion script). The order of presentation and lack of parity in tooling further reinforce a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux environments, including installation and usage of ingestion tools on Linux.
  • If a tool is Windows-only (e.g., LightIngest), recommend and document alternative ingestion methods for Linux (such as using Azure Data Explorer's ingestion REST API, Python SDK, or other cross-platform tools).
  • Clarify the cross-platform compatibility of tools like AzCopy and the Custom Log Ingestion script, and include Linux/macOS installation and usage steps where applicable.
  • Present platform-agnostic or Linux-first options alongside Windows instructions to ensure parity and inclusivity.
  • Add a table or section summarizing supported platforms for each tool, with links to relevant documentation for each OS.
