Monitor service-level objectives in Kubernetes/OpenShift

You can keep track of current service-level objectives related to a Kubernetes/OpenShift workload on the Kubernetes workload details pages.

• Select SLOs on the notifications bar to display the Service-level objectives panel, which lists SLOs that are directly or indirectly connected to the workload.

Directly connected SLOs

• An SLO is directly connected to a workload when the entity selector of an SLO meets the following criteria:

  • The entity type is set to "CLOUD_APPLICATION".
  • The entity ID is set to the workload ID.

• To see only SLOs that are directly connected to the workload, make sure that Show only directly connected SLOs is turned on.

Indirectly connected SLOs

• An SLO isn't directly connected to a workload when, in the entity selector of an SLO, no entity ID is provided.

  Example: When generic values such as type("CLOUD_APPLICATION"),tag("slo") are provided, the query results in all SLOs for all workloads, including the current workload.

• To see SLOs that are not directly connected to the workload, turn off Show only directly connected SLOs.
