Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example

windows_tools
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 apps. Examples and tool mentions (like Log Parser and W3C log formats) are Windows-centric, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal or missing for several logging features.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent, step-by-step instructions for enabling and accessing web server logging, detailed error messages, and failed request tracing for Linux-based App Service apps, or clearly state if these features are unavailable.
- Include Linux-specific examples and file paths alongside Windows examples, especially in sections describing log file locations and structures.
- Mention and recommend cross-platform or Linux-native tools (e.g., jq, grep, less, or open-source log viewers) for log analysis, not just Windows tools like Log Parser.
- Clarify any feature gaps between Windows and Linux App Service plans up front, and link to Linux-specific troubleshooting/logging documentation where available.
- Ensure parity in code samples for logging (e.g., provide Python, Node.js, or Java examples, not just .NET/ASP.NET).
