Service level objectives API - GET an SLO

Gets the parameter of the specified service level objective.

If from and to parameters are provided, the SLO is calculated for that timeframe; otherwise the SLO's own timeframe is used.

The request produces an application/json payload.

GET
  • Managed https://{your-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v2/slo/{id}
  • SaaS https://{your-environment-id}.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/slo/{id}
  • Environment ActiveGate https://{your-activegate-domain}/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v2/slo/{id}

Authentication

To execute this request, you need the Read SLO (slo.read) permission assigned to your API token. To learn how to obtain and use it, see Tokens and authentication.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description In Required
from string

The start of the requested timeframe.

You can use one of the following formats:

  • Timestamp in UTC milliseconds.
  • Human-readable format of 2021-01-25T05:57:01.123+01:00. If no time zone is specified, UTC is used. You can use a space character instead of the T. Seconds and fractions of a second are optional.
  • Relative timeframe, back from now. The format is now-NU/A, where N is the amount of time, U is the unit of time, and A is an alignment. The alignment rounds all the smaller values to the nearest zero in the past. For example, now-1y/w is one year back, aligned by a week. You can also specify relative timeframe without an alignment: now-NU. Supported time units for the relative timeframe are:
    • m: minutes
    • h: hours
    • d: days
    • w: weeks
    • M: months
    • y: years

If not set, the relative timeframe of two weeks is used (now-2w).

 query optional
to string

The end of the requested timeframe.

You can use one of the following formats:

  • Timestamp in UTC milliseconds.
  • Human-readable format of 2021-01-25T05:57:01.123+01:00. If no time zone is specified, UTC is used. You can use a space character instead of the T. Seconds and fractions of a second are optional.
  • Relative timeframe, back from now. The format is now-NU/A, where N is the amount of time, U is the unit of time, and A is an alignment. The alignment rounds all the smaller values to the nearest zero in the past. For example, now-1y/w is one year back, aligned by a week. You can also specify relative timeframe without an alignment: now-NU. Supported time units for the relative timeframe are:
    • m: minutes
    • h: hours
    • d: days
    • w: weeks
    • M: months
    • y: years

If not set, the current timestamp is used.

 query optional
id string

The ID of the required SLO.

 path required
timeFrame string

The timeframe to calculate the SLO values:

  • CURRENT: SLO's own timeframe.
  • GTF: timeframe specified by from and to parameters.

If not set, the CURRENT value is used.

 query optional

Response

Response codes

Code Description
200

Success. The response contains the parameters and calculated values of the requested SLO.
400

Failed. The input is invalid.
404

Failed. The requested resource doesn't exist.

Response body

The SLO object

Parameters of a service-level objective (SLO).

Element Type Description
errorBudget number

The error budget of the calculated SLO.

The error budget is the difference between the calculated and target values. A positive number means all is good; a negative number means trouble.
numeratorValue number

The numerator value used to evaluate the SLO when useRateMetric is set to false.
useRateMetric boolean

The type of the metric to use for SLO calculation:

  • true: An existing percentage-based metric.
  • false: A ratio of two metrics.

For a list of available metrics, see Built-in metric page or try the GET metrics API call.
metricRate string

The percentage-based metric for the calculation of the SLO.

Required when the useRateMetric is set to true.
metricNumerator string

The metric for the count of successes (the numerator in rate calculation).

Required when the useRateMetric is set to false.
metricDenominator string

The total count metric (the denominator in rate calculation).

Required when the useRateMetric is set to false.
evaluationType string

The evaluation type of the SLO.
evaluatedPercentage number

The calculated value of the SLO.

Has the value of -1 if there's an error with SLO calculation; in that case check the value of the error parameter.
timeframe string

The timeframe for the SLO evaluation. Use the syntax of the global timeframe selector.
relatedOpenProblems integer

Number of OPEN problems related to the SLO.

Has the value of -1 if there's an error with fetching SLO related problems.
denominatorValue number

The denominator value used to evaluate the SLO when useRateMetric is set to false.
filter string

The entity filter for the SLO evaluation. Use the syntax of entity selector.
name string

The name of the SLO.
id string

The ID of the SLO
target number

The target value of the SLO.
description string

A short description of the SLO.
enabled boolean

The SLO is enabled (true) or disabled (false).
status string

The status of the calculated SLO.
warning number

The warning value of the SLO.

At warning state the SLO is still fulfilled but is getting close to failure.
error string

The error of the SLO calculation.

If the value differs from NONE there's something wrong with the SLO calculation.
