Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Azure File Sync is described as transforming Windows Server into a cache for Azure Files, and all monitoring instructions and tooling references (event logs, performance counters, agent installation) are exclusively for Windows Server. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance for monitoring Azure File Sync from Linux systems, nor is there mention of cross-platform agent support or alternative tooling.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for Azure File Sync, clarifying that it is Windows Server-only if that is the case.
- If Linux support is possible or planned, provide equivalent monitoring instructions, examples, and tooling for Linux systems.
- Where possible, offer cross-platform alternatives for monitoring (e.g., using Azure Monitor REST APIs, CLI, or SDKs) and provide examples for both Windows and Linux.
- Add a section addressing monitoring from non-Windows environments, even if only to clarify limitations or suggest workarounds.
- Ensure that documentation does not assume Windows as the default platform and that any platform-specific instructions are clearly labeled.
