Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific agent installation (Network Watcher extension) and links to a Windows-focused agent installation guide, without providing equivalent Linux instructions or links. Windows terminology and tools are mentioned first or exclusively, such as the agent replacement step and the extension documentation. There are no explicit Linux migration steps or examples, and Linux agent installation is not described or linked.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and links for installing the Network Watcher extension on Linux VMs, similar to the Windows documentation.
  • Ensure agent replacement steps cover both Windows and Linux, with clear parity in guidance and troubleshooting.
  • Include Linux-specific examples or screenshots where relevant, and mention Linux support in migration steps.
  • Reference Linux documentation in the prerequisites and migration sections, not just Windows.
  • Clarify any differences in agent behavior or migration process between Windows and Linux.
