Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias: logging types and features are described for Windows in more detail and are listed first, with Linux-specific instructions and limitations often relegated to later sections or footnotes. Several advanced logging features (web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing) are available only for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or workarounds described. Examples and tooling references (such as Log Parser and Visual Studio) are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific logging patterns or tools are not mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows instructions, not after them.
- Clearly indicate feature parity (or lack thereof) for Linux and suggest alternative approaches or workarounds for missing features.
- Include references to Linux-native tools for log access and analysis (e.g., tail, grep, less, jq for JSON logs) where appropriate.
- Offer code samples for logging in popular Linux-supported languages and frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java) and show how to configure them for Azure App Service.
- If certain logging types (like web server logging or failed request tracing) are unavailable on Linux, explicitly state this and suggest alternative monitoring or debugging strategies.
- Mention cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI, Kudu, or Azure Storage Explorer) equally for both platforms.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence.
