Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring custom metrics responses and installing the application health extension. However, there are several instances of Windows bias: PowerShell examples are often presented before or alongside Linux equivalents, Windows extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are shown first in some code blocks, and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets) are given equal prominence to cross-platform CLI commands. The REST API and Azure CLI examples are cross-platform, but some sections (such as the PowerShell install and response server) are more detailed than their Linux counterparts.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal detail and prominence; consider alternating which is shown first.
  • In code samples where both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows are referenced, clarify which to use for each OS and provide explicit examples for both.
  • Add more troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux environments, such as systemd service setup or firewall configuration.
  • Where PowerShell scripts are provided, ensure Bash/Linux equivalents are equally comprehensive.
  • Review sample outputs and ensure they do not default to Windows extension types unless contextually appropriate.
