Poem

🐰 A tiny hop, a tidy tweak,
Version leaps as docs speak,
Germany waves a gentle bye,
Regions trimmed beneath the sky,
I nibble carrots and then I squeak. 🥕

Learning: For AzureHound docs (docs/install-data-collector/install-azurehound/system-requirements.mdx), prefer explicitly stating:
- Directory Reader must be permanently active (not PIM-eligible only).
- Microsoft Graph application permissions (Directory.Read.All, RoleManagement.Read.All) require admin consent.
- Azure Reader role phrasing: “on all Azure subscriptions, ideally assigned at the tenant root group (root management group) scope.”

60-60: No actionable issues identified. The version update from v2.0.5 to v2.8.2 is intentional and complete. v2.8.2 is confirmed as the current AzureHound version (per Dec 2, 2025 release notes), and the old version references that remain are historical release notes where they appropriately belong. The documentation for the active install procedure has been correctly updated.

74-79: Germany region removal is complete and appropriate.

The removal aligns with Microsoft Azure's official transition away from the "Microsoft Cloud Germany" (T‑Systems trustee model) to new German regions. No remaining references to the "germany" region were found in the documentation. The change is correct.

60-60: Update the example path to match the current version.

The example path references azurehound-v2.0.5 while the CLI output on line 70 displays v2.8.2. This version mismatch may confuse users following the documentation.

🔎 Proposed fix

-      C:\Users\Administrator.ROOT\Downloads\azurehound-v2.0.5\azurehound-windows-amd64>azurehound.exe configure
+      C:\Users\Administrator.ROOT\Downloads\azurehound-v2.8.2\azurehound-windows-amd64>azurehound.exe configure

Alternatively, consider making the path version-agnostic:

-      C:\Users\Administrator.ROOT\Downloads\azurehound-v2.0.5\azurehound-windows-amd64>azurehound.exe configure
+      C:\Users\Administrator.ROOT\Downloads\azurehound\azurehound-windows-amd64>azurehound.exe configure

70-79: The removal of the "germany" region is appropriate. Azure's original "Microsoft Cloud Germany" (the Deutschland data-trustee model) was deprecated in August 2018, and Microsoft no longer accepts new customers or adds services to it. No other references to the "germany" region exist in the documentation.
