Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias: logging types and features are described for Windows in greater detail and are presented before Linux equivalents. Several logging features (web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing) are described only for Windows, with no Linux instructions or explicit mention of Linux support or alternatives. Tooling references (e.g., Log Parser, W3C log format) are Windows-centric. Linux logging capabilities are described in less detail, and some features are noted as unavailable or limited for non-Windows stacks.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/container instructions for all logging types, or explicitly state when features are unavailable on Linux.
- Add Linux-specific examples and clarify differences in log formats, locations, and access methods.
- Mention and recommend cross-platform or Linux-native tools for log analysis (e.g., grep, less, jq) alongside or instead of Windows tools like Log Parser.
- Ensure parity in detail and structure between Windows and Linux sections, including tables and step-by-step guides.
- Clearly indicate feature availability per platform in all relevant sections, not just in summary tables.
