Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by providing more detailed instructions and features for Windows App Service apps, such as web server logging, detailed error messages, and failed request tracing, which are either unavailable or not documented for Linux. Several logging types and advanced features are described only for Windows, with Linux instructions being briefer and lacking parity. Windows-specific tools and log formats (e.g., W3C, Log Parser, Web.config) are referenced without Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux examples and instructions for all logging types where possible, or clearly state feature parity gaps.
- Document Linux-specific logging features, tools, and log access patterns, including any differences in log file locations, formats, or retention policies.
- If certain features (e.g., web server logging, failed request tracing) are not available on Linux, explicitly mention this and suggest alternative troubleshooting or logging strategies for Linux users.
- Include Linux-friendly tooling recommendations for log analysis and access (e.g., using tail, grep, or Azure CLI on Linux).
- Ensure that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail, possibly in parallel sections or tables.
