Page-Level Analysis

Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation does not provide any command-line examples or troubleshooting steps for either Windows or Linux. However, it exclusively references the Azure portal UI for all verification and configuration steps, and does not mention or provide examples for Linux CLI tools (such as Azure CLI, kubectl, or YAML editing via command line). This omission may disadvantage Linux users or those working in non-GUI environments, as it lacks parity for command-line workflows commonly used on Linux.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI and/or PowerShell command examples for each portal-based step, ensuring both Linux and Windows users are supported.
  • Include kubectl command-line examples for verifying and editing AKS service and load balancer configurations, as these are standard for Linux users.
  • Provide YAML editing and application instructions using command-line tools (e.g., 'kubectl apply -f ...'), not just referencing the Azure portal.
  • Explicitly mention both GUI and CLI approaches in each troubleshooting step to ensure cross-platform usability.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a 'windows_first' bias by exclusively referencing Azure Portal and Azure CLI for role assignment, both of which are cross-platform but are often associated with Windows-centric workflows. There are no explicit PowerShell-only examples or Windows-specific tools, but there is also a lack of Linux/Unix-specific instructions or examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux command-line nuances, or references to Linux-native tools). The documentation does not mention or demonstrate how to manage permissions using Linux-native tools or workflows, nor does it clarify cross-platform compatibility for the CLI commands.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation or usage notes for Linux users.
  • Include example commands or screenshots from a Linux terminal (e.g., Bash shell) to demonstrate parity.
  • Mention any Linux-specific considerations, such as environment variable usage, file path differences, or shell quoting nuances.
  • If possible, provide alternative instructions or references for managing permissions using Linux-native tools or automation scripts.
  • Clarify that the Azure Portal is web-based and platform-agnostic, to avoid the impression of a Windows-only workflow.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward the Azure portal and Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) ecosystem, which are primarily accessed via web UI or Microsoft-centric tools. There are no references to Linux command-line tools, CLI-based workflows, or cross-platform automation (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API, or Terraform). All examples and screenshots are from the Azure portal UI, with no mention of how to perform these tasks outside the Microsoft ecosystem or from Linux environments.
Recommendations:
  • Include Azure CLI and/or REST API examples for all major steps (e.g., assigning roles, creating teams, linking Entra groups), as these are cross-platform and usable from Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Mention and provide examples for managing Grafana Team Sync via Grafana's own API or configuration files, which are accessible from any OS.
  • Add a note clarifying that all portal-based steps can also be performed via CLI or API, and link to relevant documentation.
  • If possible, provide Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code examples for automating these tasks in a platform-agnostic way.
  • Explicitly state that the instructions are not limited to Windows and that Linux users can accomplish the same tasks using CLI or API tools.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing instructions and screenshots exclusively for the Azure Portal (a web UI), and for command-line operations, it only references the Azure CLI without specifying or showing cross-platform usage. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples, nor is there mention of Linux shell environments or alternative tools. The documentation assumes the user is operating from a Windows-centric perspective (Azure Portal, Azure CLI), and does not address Linux-specific nuances or provide parity in examples.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and provide example commands in both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (bash) syntax where differences exist.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific notes or troubleshooting tips, such as environment variable handling, file path differences, or authentication nuances.
  • If screenshots are included, provide at least one example from a Linux desktop environment or terminal, or clarify that the steps are platform-agnostic.
  • Where possible, mention and demonstrate alternative tools commonly used on Linux (e.g., curl, wget, jq) alongside Azure CLI.
  • Add a section or note highlighting that all API calls and CLI commands are cross-platform, and provide links to official documentation for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows/Azure-centric tooling by exclusively referencing the Azure portal and Azure CLI for role assignment and permissions management. There are no examples or mentions of Linux-native tools, cross-platform alternatives, or generic Grafana administration via the command line or API. The instructions assume the use of Azure-specific identity and access management, which is more familiar to Windows/Azure users, and do not provide parity for users managing Grafana on Linux or outside the Azure ecosystem.
Recommendations:
  • Include examples of managing Grafana roles and permissions using Grafana's native CLI tools or REST API, which are platform-agnostic and commonly used on Linux.
  • Mention and, where possible, provide examples for using Linux command-line tools or scripts to interact with Grafana permissions, especially for users not leveraging Azure-specific identity management.
  • Clarify that the Azure CLI is cross-platform, but also acknowledge and provide alternatives for users who may be managing Grafana instances outside of Azure or who prefer non-Azure-native tools.
  • Add a section or note on how to perform equivalent role and permission management tasks in self-hosted Grafana environments, which are often deployed on Linux.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward the Azure portal and Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) environment, which is most commonly associated with Windows-centric workflows. All instructions and screenshots are based on the Azure portal UI, with no mention of command-line alternatives (such as Azure CLI, Bash, or PowerShell), nor any Linux-native tools or workflows. There are no examples or guidance for users managing Grafana outside of the Azure portal, such as on self-hosted Linux servers or via open-source identity providers. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows/Azure environment and does not address Linux or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for configuring Grafana Team Sync with Microsoft Entra groups using the Azure CLI, including Bash examples for Linux users.
  • Mention and, where possible, provide examples for managing Grafana Team Sync via Grafana's REST API or configuration files, which are platform-agnostic.
  • Clarify whether the described steps are exclusive to Azure Managed Grafana or if similar workflows are available for self-hosted Grafana on Linux.
  • If possible, include a section on integrating Grafana with other identity providers or directory services commonly used in Linux environments (e.g., LDAP, Keycloak), or link to relevant documentation.
  • Explicitly note any platform dependencies or limitations, and provide links to cross-platform or Linux-specific resources where appropriate.

Page-Level Analysis

Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation does not provide any command-line examples or troubleshooting steps that are specific to either Windows or Linux. However, it relies exclusively on Azure Portal UI instructions and does not mention or provide any CLI-based (e.g., Azure CLI, PowerShell, Bash) alternatives. This omission can be considered a bias of omission, as Linux users often prefer or require CLI-based workflows, especially for automation or headless environments.
Recommendations:
  • Add Azure CLI examples for each troubleshooting step, such as checking and approving managed private endpoints, reviewing NSG rules, and verifying private link service configuration.
  • Include YAML editing and kubectl command-line examples for port configuration verification and updates in AKS clusters.
  • Explicitly mention both portal and CLI approaches, and ensure parity between Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/Azure CLI) command examples.
  • Provide links to relevant Azure CLI and kubectl documentation for further reference.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by exclusively referencing the Azure portal (a web UI) and Azure CLI, with no mention of Linux-specific tools or workflows. While the CLI and curl examples are cross-platform, the absence of Linux shell-specific guidance or alternative Linux-native tools (such as bash scripting or environment variable handling) may disadvantage Linux users. There are no PowerShell-specific commands, but the overall workflow assumes familiarity with Azure's web and CLI tools, which are more commonly used in Windows-centric environments.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that the Azure CLI and curl commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any necessary installation instructions for Linux users.
  • Include Linux shell scripting examples for automating token retrieval and API calls (e.g., using bash scripts or environment variables).
  • Mention how to install and use Azure CLI on Linux, including package manager commands (e.g., apt, yum).
  • If referencing the Azure portal, clarify that it is a web-based interface accessible from any OS.
  • Add troubleshooting tips for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., permissions, environment setup).

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows/Azure-centric bias by exclusively referencing Azure-specific tools and workflows (Azure portal, Azure CLI, Microsoft Entra ID) for managing Grafana permissions. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-native tools, non-Azure CLI environments, or generic Grafana administration outside of the Azure ecosystem. The command-line example uses Azure CLI, which is available cross-platform but is primarily associated with Azure and Windows environments. No mention is made of Linux shell commands, native Grafana CLI, or alternative identity providers.
Recommendations:
  • Include examples of managing Grafana roles and permissions using the native Grafana CLI or REST API, which are platform-agnostic and commonly used in Linux environments.
  • Provide instructions or references for managing permissions in self-hosted Grafana (outside Azure), highlighting differences and Linux-native workflows.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform, but also suggest how to perform equivalent tasks using bash, curl, or other Linux-native tools.
  • Mention or link to documentation for integrating non-Microsoft identity providers, if supported, to broaden applicability beyond Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Consider reordering sections or adding parallel Linux/generic Grafana examples alongside Azure-specific instructions to improve parity.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Azure portal and Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) workflows, with all instructions and screenshots based on the Azure web UI. There are no references to command-line tools, scripting, or cross-platform methods (such as CLI, REST API, or Terraform), and no mention of Linux or non-Windows environments. This creates an implicit Windows/Microsoft ecosystem bias, as users on Linux or those preferring automation/scripting are not provided with equivalent guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Include CLI-based instructions (e.g., using Azure CLI or PowerShell) alongside portal steps, and ensure Azure CLI examples are provided before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Add REST API or Terraform examples for automating Grafana Team Sync configuration, which are platform-agnostic and suitable for Linux users.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from any OS with a web browser, and clarify any OS-specific requirements if present.
  • Provide links or references to documentation on managing Microsoft Entra groups and Azure Managed Grafana from Linux environments.
  • If possible, include a section on integrating with non-Microsoft identity providers or open-source alternatives for broader applicability.

Page-Level Analysis

Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation does not provide any command-line examples or troubleshooting steps that are specific to either Windows or Linux. However, it also does not include any CLI-based troubleshooting steps (such as using Azure CLI, PowerShell, Bash, or kubectl commands), and all instructions are given via the Azure Portal UI. This results in a lack of parity for users who prefer or require command-line or Linux-native troubleshooting approaches.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI and/or Bash command examples for each troubleshooting step, especially for verifying managed private endpoint approval, checking NSG rules, and validating private link service configuration.
  • Include kubectl command examples for verifying AKS service and load balancer port configurations, as these are commonly performed via the command line in Linux environments.
  • Where possible, provide both portal-based and CLI-based instructions side by side to support both Windows and Linux users.
  • Explicitly mention that steps can be performed via CLI or portal, and link to relevant Azure CLI or kubectl documentation.
