Summary
The documentation for monitoring Azure File Sync is heavily Windows-centric. It repeatedly references Windows Server as the platform for Azure File Sync, and all local monitoring instructions (event logs, performance counters) are specific to Windows tools (Event Viewer, Perfmon.exe). There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, nor any mention of Linux-compatible monitoring approaches or tools. The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server and does not address cross-platform parity.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for Azure File Sync, clarifying if Linux servers are supported or not.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions for monitoring on Linux systems, including log locations, monitoring tools (e.g., syslog, journalctl, collectd), and relevant metrics.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, add a prominent note at the beginning of the documentation to inform users.
- Where possible, offer cross-platform Azure Monitor examples (e.g., using Azure CLI, REST API, or PowerShell Core on Linux) for alerting and metric collection.
- Review related troubleshooting and monitoring documentation to ensure Linux parity or clear platform scoping.
