Research direction

Start by locating the Windows and Linux function-app image definitions and the worker startup entry point, then inspect the proposed /agents/node/build/src/Loader.js load path. Confirm the agent is present and loaded in both images, and verify that agent-based monitoring works for function apps; the issue names no tests to run.

Description

area:nodejs-functions enhancement P2

The monitoring team has provided an agent we can use that will automatically track a lot of beneficial information for users. The agent is already added for web apps, but we would need to make sure it's included in our windows and linux images for function apps. Then we would just need to make sure we load the agent (something like require /agents/node/build/src/Loader.js).
