Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Azure File Sync is described as a solution that transforms Windows Server into a cache for Azure Files, and all on-premises monitoring instructions reference Windows Server tools such as Event Viewer and Performance Monitor. There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, nor any mention of Linux-compatible monitoring methods or tools. Windows terminology and tools are used exclusively when discussing local server monitoring, and protocols are described as 'available on Windows Server' without reference to Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Azure File Sync's platform requirements and whether Linux servers are supported or not. If Linux is unsupported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent monitoring instructions for Linux systems, including how to access logs, metrics, and performance counters using Linux-native tools (e.g., journalctl, sysstat, etc.).
- Include examples or references for monitoring Azure File Sync from Linux-based environments, such as using Azure Monitor APIs, CLI, or cross-platform scripting.
- When listing protocols (SMB, NFS, FTPS), clarify their availability and support on both Windows and Linux servers.
- Avoid exclusive use of Windows terminology (Event Viewer, Perfmon.exe) without mentioning cross-platform or Linux alternatives where applicable.
