Summary
The documentation assumes the use of Azure File Sync, which is only supported on Windows Server, and all monitoring instructions are given in the context of the Azure portal or Windows-based server endpoints. There are no examples or mentions of Linux tools, commands, or environments, and the documentation does not clarify the Windows-only nature of Azure File Sync, potentially leading to confusion for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state early in the documentation that Azure File Sync and its monitoring features are only supported on Windows Server, to set expectations for Linux users.
- If any cross-platform monitoring is possible (e.g., via Azure Monitor REST APIs, CLI, or PowerShell Core on Linux), provide examples for Linux environments.
- Where possible, include Azure CLI or REST API examples for metric retrieval, which can be run on any platform, not just Windows.
- Add a section or note addressing Linux users, clarifying support limitations and suggesting alternative approaches for monitoring Azure Files from Linux clients if relevant.
