About this session
With a complex client that has many dependencies and operates across diverse environments, the Electronic Arts (EA) team needed a modern error monitoring system to answer critical questions about the EA App: “Is the app healthy?” “Which part of which build is facing issues?” “Is this problem external?” The solution: a Grafana dashboard that client teams can use to answer these questions for 200+ core error metrics in under 10 minutes with confidence. In this session, Software Engineer Kenny Chen will walk through the Grafana dashboard’s structured and scalable pattern of color-coded rows that enable quick visual assessment and reduce cognitive load. Kenny will explain how the team creates accurate thresholds for anomaly detection, and automated updates and alerts using templating – ensuring that 800+ panels and 200+ alerts are always up-to-date with minimal manual intervention, providing reliable, real-time monitoring.
