Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows virtual machines, with all examples, configuration snippets, and explanations tailored to Windows (WAD) diagnostics extension. Linux equivalents (LAD) are only mentioned in passing, and there are no Linux-specific configuration examples, XML schemas, or template snippets. The guidance, troubleshooting, and sample links are all Windows-centric, leaving Linux users without actionable steps or parity in monitoring and diagnostics setup.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples and configuration snippets for Linux VMs using the Linux Diagnostics Extension (LAD) and/or Azure Monitor Agent.
- Include links to Linux-specific sample templates and documentation, such as diagnostics extension schema for Linux.
- Provide XML or JSON configuration examples for Linux diagnostics, including performance counters and log collection relevant to Linux.
- Clarify differences and migration steps for both Windows and Linux users, especially given the upcoming deprecation.
- Ensure troubleshooting and deployment instructions are available for both Azure PowerShell (Windows) and Azure CLI (Linux/macOS).
