My testing showed that with ApplicationHealthLinux using requestPath that starts with a slash causes the health status check to always fail. The same request path but without the slash works for the extension on Linux. But ApplicationHealthWindows works regardless of whether requestPath starts with a slash or not.

Additional issue with the current page content: it claims that Linux extension status logs are placed under /var/lib/waagent/apphealth. My testing showed though that this directory stays empty. I did find some status data reported under /var/lib/waagent/Microsoft.ManagedServices.ApplicationHealthLinux-1.0.0

@username_0 Thanks for bringing this to our notice.

Internal Team is working on addressing this from platform side as the behavior is not consistent on Windows and Linux version of extension. Also, ApplicationHealthLinux currently prefix requestPath with “/” by default. 

Want to check if this is currently blocking you from using the health extension in anyway? 
Requesting you to share your Subscription ID & VMSS name by emailing me with Subject as "ATTN: Vikas - ApplicationHealthLinux " at AzCommunity@microsoft.com along with this thread [link](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/52192). I will share the details with the product team who will check on this further.

@username_2 No I'm not blocked. What worked is to simply never supply requestPath that starts with / for either Windows or Linux extension. 
Note as well another issue I reported above about /var/lib/waagent/apphealth that is always empty.
