Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for enabling diagnostic logging using the Azure portal and PowerShell, both of which are Windows-centric tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash, or ARM templates. The PowerShell example is given as the only code-based method, and Windows tools are mentioned exclusively for log viewing (Excel, Power BI) before any cross-platform alternatives. This creates a bias toward Windows users and leaves Linux users without parity in instructions.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for enabling diagnostic logging, as CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include Bash script samples for log extraction and management.
- Mention and provide examples for viewing logs using Linux-friendly tools (e.g., jq, grep, less) alongside Excel and Power BI.
- Ensure that instructions for configuring diagnostic settings are not limited to the Azure portal and PowerShell; include ARM template and REST API options.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform tools and examples are presented before or alongside Windows-specific ones.
