Introduction
This documentation provides an overview of the Website and Browser Error Monitoring Dashboard, which is designed to help system administrators and web developers track and analyze website and client browser errors.
Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is divided into sections, each providing critical data about the performance and stability of web applications from both the server and client-side perspectives.
Browser Errors Chart
- Purpose: To visualize the frequency and distribution of browser errors over time.
- Features: The ability to group errors by application, endpoint, or error type for a specified time range.
Errors by Applications
- Purpose: To identify which applications are experiencing the most errors.
- Features: Lists applications with error counts, affected endpoints, and the percentage of affected endpoints.
Errors by Country
- Purpose: To pinpoint geographical locations where users are encountering errors.
- Features: Breakdown of errors by country, aiding in localization and regional server issues.
Errors by Category and Error Code
- Purpose: To classify errors for targeted troubleshooting.
- Features: Categorizes errors by type and specifies the error codes for precise debugging.
Detailed Error Table
- Purpose: To provide granular data about each error instance.
- Features: Displays detailed information such as the application name, endpoint hostname, custom location, error category, error code, and the browser where the error occurred.
Why Is This Relevant?
The continuous monitoring of website and client-side browser errors plays a vital role in upholding both positive user experiences and robust system reliability. By systematically analysing this error data, valuable insights can be gleaned across several key areas:
- System Reliability: Error analysis can reveal recurring patterns and root causes behind system malfunctions. By addressing these underlying issues, system stability and overall reliability can be significantly enhanced.
- User Experience (UX): Prompt identification and resolution of errors directly minimize their impact on user experience. This proactive approach ensures a smooth and uninterrupted user journey.
- Security and Compliance: Error monitoring can serve as a valuable tool for detecting potential security vulnerabilities within the system. Additionally, it can aid in verifying adherence to relevant industry standards and security protocols.
- Performance Optimization: Error trends can provide valuable indicators for optimizing both server-side and client-side performance. By understanding the nature of errors encountered, efforts can be targeted to streamline performance across the entire application.
