Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by providing detailed, step-by-step instructions and feature coverage for Windows App Service apps before Linux equivalents. Several logging features (web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing) are described only for Windows, with no Linux or container alternatives or workarounds mentioned. Windows-specific tools and log formats (e.g., W3C, Log Parser, D:\ paths) are referenced without Linux parallels. Linux instructions are present but less detailed and sometimes limited to basic configuration, lacking parity with Windows features.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent, detailed instructions for Linux and container-based App Service apps for all logging features, or clearly state if a feature is unavailable.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as log file paths, tools for viewing logs (e.g., tail, less, jq), and troubleshooting steps.
- If certain logging types (web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing) are not supported on Linux, explicitly mention this and suggest alternative approaches or workarounds.
- Avoid referencing only Windows tools (e.g., Log Parser, D:\ paths) and include Linux alternatives (e.g., /home/LogFiles, grep, awk).
- Structure sections so that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence, or group them together for direct comparison.
- Expand code examples to include Linux-friendly languages and frameworks, not just .NET/ASP.NET.
