The Juniper team developed the Juniper Support Automation Solution (JSAS) to track the status of network devices and troubleshoot issues. Their AWS CloudWatch service receives logs from client devices, displayed in a Dashboard through widgets. As JSAS has scaled, the widgets in the existing dashboard are cluttered with information, making it hard to utilize the tool. As a solution, we used Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to build filtered dashboards by serial numbers and a new log table widget to display data from multiple sources parallelly. The scalable IaC tool was created using a CloudFormation template and leveraged nested stacks. The widgets use AWS query language summarizing the current state of all client devices, hence improving the developer’s user experience.
