Description

The documentation should mention these errors, especially the logs are flooded with these errors in a very short period of time, also some of us send emails on unhandled exception, we get so many emails for, that Google starts to refuse sending emails.

Maybe you should point it out like here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-custom-container?tabs=debian&pivots=container-linux#robots933456-in-logs
