Summary
The documentation provides installation and configuration details for both Windows and Linux agents, but Windows-specific information (such as folders, services, accounts, and troubleshooting logs) is presented first and in greater detail. Windows tools and concepts (MSI installer, Group Policy, NT SERVICE accounts) are described before Linux equivalents, which may create a perception of Windows primacy. Linux instructions are present and reasonably complete, but are consistently listed after Windows, and some Windows-specific troubleshooting tips (e.g., Group Policy adjustments) lack Linux parallels.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux sections in parallel or alternate order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Ensure troubleshooting tips and configuration notes are provided for both platforms (e.g., Linux service account permissions, SELinux/AppArmor considerations).
  • Add more Linux-specific operational details, such as systemd unit file locations, package manager commands, and common Linux troubleshooting scenarios.
  • Where possible, use neutral terminology and avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., refer to 'service accounts' generically, not just NT SERVICE).
  • Include Linux-first examples or highlight Linux-specific best practices.
