Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring custom metrics and the application health extension. However, there are several instances where Windows-specific tools, patterns, or terminology are presented first or more prominently. For example, PowerShell examples and Windows extension types are often shown before or alongside Linux equivalents, and the REST/ARM examples default to 'ApplicationHealthWindows'. The PowerShell section is detailed and uses Windows-centric variable names and extension types. The CLI examples are cross-platform, but Windows tools and patterns are mentioned at least as much as Linux ones, sometimes before them.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows extension types are presented equally in all code samples and explanations. For example, REST/ARM examples should show both 'ApplicationHealthLinux' and 'ApplicationHealthWindows' or clarify when to use each.
  • Alternate the order of Bash and PowerShell examples, or present Bash first to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
  • Clarify which examples are for Linux and which are for Windows, especially in sections where only one is shown.
  • Add explicit Linux-focused troubleshooting and verification steps, such as using systemd or other Linux-native tools for health endpoint management.
  • Where possible, use neutral variable names and avoid Windows-centric naming in generic examples.
