Summary
The documentation page for scheduled analytics rules in Microsoft Sentinel exhibits mild Windows bias. In the 'Next steps' section, PowerShell is mentioned as a primary method for automating rule enablement, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting). PowerShell is referenced before API, and no Linux-specific tools or examples are provided. There are no explicit Windows-only instructions, but the lack of Linux/macOS parity in automation guidance may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Include examples using Azure CLI for rule automation, which is cross-platform.
- Mention Bash scripting and provide sample scripts for exporting/importing rules on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, or link to instructions for installing and using PowerShell on Linux/macOS.
- Provide parity in automation instructions by showing both PowerShell and Azure CLI methods side-by-side.
- Explicitly state that all API operations can be performed from any OS, and link to relevant REST API usage guides.
