Request body objects

The `SloConfigItemDtoImpl` object

Element	Type	Description	Required
description	string	The description of the SLO.	optional
enabled	boolean	The SLO is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`). If not defined, the SLO is disabled by default.	optional
errorBudgetBurnRate	SloBurnRateConfig	Error budget burn rate configuration of a service-level objective (SLO).	optional
evaluationType	string	The evaluation type of the SLO. `AGGREGATE`	required
filter	string	The entity filter for the SLO evaluation. The total length of the entitySelector string in SLOs is limited to 1,000 characters. Use the syntax of entity selector.	optional
~~metricDenominator~~	string	DEPRECATED The total count metric (the denominator in rate calculation). Required when the useRateMetric is set to `false`.	optional
metricExpression	string	The percentage-based metric expression for the calculation of the SLO.	optional
metricName	string	The name that is used to create SLO func metrics keys. Once created, metric name cannot be changed.	optional
~~metricNumerator~~	string	DEPRECATED The metric for the count of successes (the numerator in rate calculation). Required when the useRateMetric is set to `false`.	optional
~~metricRate~~	string	DEPRECATED The percentage-based metric for the calculation of the SLO. Required when the useRateMetric is set to `true`.	optional
name	string	The name of the SLO.	required
target	number	The target value of the SLO.	required
timeframe	string	The timeframe for the SLO evaluation. Use the syntax of the global timeframe selector.	required
~~useRateMetric~~	boolean	DEPRECATED 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.	optional
warning	number	The warning value of the SLO. At warning state the SLO is still fulfilled but is getting close to failure.	required

The `SloBurnRateConfig` object

Error budget burn rate configuration of a service-level objective (SLO).

Element Type Description Required

burnRateVisualizationEnabled

boolean

Element	Type	Description	Required
burnRateVisualizationEnabled	boolean	The error budget burn rate calculation is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`). In case of `false`, no calculated values will be present here. If not defined, the error budget burn rate calculation is disabled by default.	optional
fastBurnThreshold	number	The threshold between a slow and a fast burn rate.	optional

The error budget burn rate calculation is enabled (true) or disabled (false).

In case of false, no calculated values will be present here.

If not defined, the error budget burn rate calculation is disabled by default.

optional

fastBurnThreshold

number
