Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring the application health extension and custom metrics. However, there are several instances where Windows/PowerShell examples are presented first or in greater detail, and Windows-specific extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are used in sample code. PowerShell usage is prominent, and Windows tools/patterns are referenced alongside their Linux equivalents, but sometimes Windows terminology or examples appear before Linux ones. The REST API examples also default to ApplicationHealthWindows, though ApplicationHealthLinux is mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence and detail.
  • Alternate the order of examples so Linux/Bash is not always after Windows/PowerShell.
  • In REST and JSON samples, use ApplicationHealthLinux as the default or provide both Linux and Windows variants.
  • Clarify that both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows are supported, and provide guidance for Linux users where Windows-specific terminology is used.
  • Where possible, avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., referencing Windows extension types first) unless the feature is Windows-only.
