Summary
The documentation for collecting debug logs in the C#/.NET SDK section presents Windows-specific instructions (ETW, PowerShell scripts) before Linux alternatives, with more detail and emphasis on Windows tools. The Windows method uses dedicated scripts and references ETW, while the Linux method is described as an alternative using dotnet-trace, with less context and no parity in scripting. Other language sections are generally OS-neutral, but the C#/.NET section demonstrates a clear Windows-first and Windows-tool bias.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
- Provide Linux shell script equivalents for the PowerShell scripts used on Windows, or reference community tools/scripts for Linux.
- Expand the Linux section to include troubleshooting tips, provider file usage, and trace analysis steps similar to the Windows section.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux are fully supported for trace collection, and avoid implying Windows is the primary platform.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools or document their usage equally for both OSes.
