Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_tools
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 before Linux/Bash equivalents, and Windows-specific extension types (ApplicationHealthWindows) are used in sample code. PowerShell examples are detailed and prominent, and Windows tools/patterns (e.g., PowerShell HTTP server) are included alongside Linux examples. The REST API examples also default to Windows extension types. Overall, Linux parity is present but not always prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash examples before Windows/PowerShell examples in each section to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Ensure REST API and JSON configuration samples alternate or default to ApplicationHealthLinux when not OS-specific.
  • Clarify in sample code and tables that both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows are supported, and provide explicit Linux-focused samples.
  • Expand troubleshooting and verification examples to include Linux-specific commands (e.g., systemctl, netstat) where appropriate.
  • Review sample output snippets to ensure they reference both Linux and Windows extension types equally.
