Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas: logging types and features are described with Windows as the primary or only platform, with Linux support mentioned secondarily or omitted. Several logging features (web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing) are described as Windows-only, with no Linux equivalents or workarounds provided. Example tools and file paths are often Windows-centric, and some features (like writing application logs to blob storage) are noted as unavailable for non-.NET (and thus often non-Windows) stacks. Linux-specific instructions are minimal and lack parity in detail and options.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions for all logging types, or clearly state feature parity gaps and suggest alternatives.
- Where features are Windows-only (e.g., web server logging, detailed error messages, failed request tracing), offer Linux workarounds or third-party tool suggestions.
- Include Linux file paths and usage patterns alongside Windows ones in all relevant sections (e.g., log file locations, Kudu usage).
- If certain features (like application logging to blob storage) are not supported on Linux, provide code samples or links to community solutions for implementing similar functionality.
- Balance the order of presentation: do not always present Windows instructions first; alternate or group by platform.
- Expand 'Add log messages in code' with Linux/OSS stack examples (Node.js, Java, PHP, Python) and logging best practices for those environments.
