Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows virtual machines, with all examples, configuration snippets, and explanations tailored exclusively to Windows (WAD) diagnostics extension. There is no Linux (LAD) diagnostics extension example, nor any mention of Linux-specific configuration, counters, or XML schema. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., WindowsEventLog, Windows performance counters, Visual Studio) are used throughout, and the only sample template referenced is for Windows VMs. Although the deprecation notice mentions Linux, the rest of the page provides no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for configuring diagnostics on Linux VMs, including LAD extension and its settings.
- Include Linux-specific performance counters and log collection configuration.
- Reference Linux sample templates and provide links to Linux-focused quickstart resources.
- Clarify which sections apply only to Windows and provide equivalent instructions for Linux.
- Mention Linux deployment tools (e.g., Azure CLI, cloud-init) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Visual Studio.
