Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation 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 not documented for Linux apps. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and some features are explicitly marked as Windows-only. Additionally, Windows tools and log formats (e.g., W3C, Log Parser) are mentioned without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux examples and instructions wherever possible, especially for enabling and accessing logs.
- Clearly indicate feature parity or lack thereof between Windows and Linux App Service plans, and suggest alternative approaches for Linux where features are missing.
- Include Linux-native tools or commands for accessing and analyzing logs (e.g., using tail, grep, less, or Azure Storage Explorer on Linux).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence, or group them under clear subheadings.
- If certain logging features are unavailable on Linux, explicitly state this and provide recommended workarounds or alternatives.
