Overview

Service-level objectives represent a best-practice SRE to monitor business-critical or user-impacting services' health status and error budget. The SLO functionality enables

of SLOs. Furthermore, it offers capabilities to visualize SLOs.

Note: Dedicated and tailored burn-rate alerts for proactive notification of performance degradation and configuration as code support will be added soon.

Use cases

SLOs provide a handy and efficient tool to define and track error budgets for your critical components, which allows you to proactively take action in case your error budgets are consumed abnormally fast and put your SLAs at risk.

Typically, SLOs are set based on latency, failure rate, and availability metrics, but they can also be defined to identify an increase in a particular error-log pattern.

Get started

SLOs are most valuable when selectively set on your business-critical and end-user-impacting services.

Configure your SLOs

  • Identify your critical services
  • Open the SLO management view and create a new SLO.
  • Add an SLO for service availability and service-performance per critical service
  • Use the preview to identify a suitable threshold and evaluation period, e.g., the last 2 weeks.
  • Add your SLOs to a your health and performance dashboard for a combined visualization

Visualize your SLOs

  • View your created SLOs and pin them to a dedicated dashboard to have your most important SLOs always at hand at a glance.

Details

With the latest release, Dynatrace service-level objectives can be set on all data types, leveraging the power of Grail as central data platform via DQL.

This enables you to define your SLI based on what matters to you and your customers, independently of whether they are based on classic latency and failure rate metrics or specific log patterns.

For more information, please see our help documentation or reach out to our support teams.

Compatibility information

Service-level objectives are built on selected service-level indicators that are defined via DQL. Every data type available in Grail can be used to make a timeseries and serve as SLI for your SLOs.
