Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias by providing more detailed instructions and features for Windows App Service apps, such as web server logging, detailed error messages, and failed request tracing, which are not available or documented for Linux. Several sections (e.g., enabling web server logging, detailed errors, failed request tracing) only mention Windows, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives. Additionally, Windows-specific tools and log formats (e.g., W3C log format, Log Parser, references to D:\ paths) are highlighted, while Linux-specific tools or patterns are not discussed.
Recommendations:
- Clearly indicate feature parity or lack thereof for Linux vs. Windows in each section, and provide Linux alternatives or workarounds where possible.
- Add explicit Linux examples and instructions for all logging types, or state if a feature is not supported on Linux.
- Include Linux-relevant tools and log file paths (e.g., /home/LogFiles) alongside Windows examples.
- For sections that are Windows-only (e.g., web server logging, failed request tracing), provide guidance on equivalent troubleshooting/logging approaches for Linux (such as using OpenTelemetry, custom logging, or third-party tools).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, or group instructions by platform.
- Reference Linux-friendly log analysis tools in addition to Windows tools like Log Parser.
