Summary
The documentation consistently presents Windows troubleshooting steps before Linux ones, and uses Windows-specific tools (services.msc, Control Panel, MSI installer) in detail. Linux instructions are present and reasonably complete, but are listed after Windows and lack parity in step-by-step detail. Windows tools and patterns (services.msc, .NET dependency) are described exclusively for Windows, with no Linux equivalents mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux troubleshooting sections, or present them in parallel for each error.
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux agent troubleshooting (e.g., commands to check agent status, uninstall/reinstall agent, verify dependencies).
  • Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for steps like checking service status (e.g., systemctl status waagent), uninstalling/reinstalling the agent, and required dependencies.
  • Add notes clarifying which steps are OS-specific and provide links to both Windows and Linux agent update guides.
  • Consider a summary table comparing steps for Windows and Linux for each common error.
