Summary
The documentation generally avoids platform-specific bias, but there are a few areas where Windows is implicitly favored. Notably, the 'Performance Counters' feature is only supported on Windows, and the 'Built-in log streaming' method does not support Linux in the Consumption plan, but these limitations are called out. However, examples and instructions for Linux users (such as alternative log streaming methods or how to monitor performance on Linux) are not provided. In sections where platform limitations exist, Windows capabilities are described first or exclusively, with Linux limitations mentioned as exceptions rather than providing Linux-centric guidance.
Recommendations
  • Where features are Windows-only (e.g., Performance Counters, built-in log streaming), provide Linux alternatives or guidance for Linux users (e.g., suggest using Live Metrics Stream or other monitoring tools).
  • Explicitly document recommended monitoring workflows for Linux-hosted Azure Functions, including any differences in setup or available features.
  • Add examples or links for Linux/macOS users where relevant, especially in sections that describe features unavailable on Linux.
  • Consider reordering sections so that Linux limitations are described upfront, or provide parity in example coverage.
