Service-level objectives API - GET an SLO

Gets the parameter of the specified service-level objective (SLO).

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.

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. `CURRENT` `GTF`	query	optional

Response body objects

The `SLO` object

Parameters of a service-level objective (SLO).

Element	Type	Description
burnRateMetricKey	string	The key for the SLO's error budget burn rate func metric.
~~denominatorValue~~	number	DEPRECATED The denominator value used to evaluate the SLO when useRateMetric is set to `false`.
description	string	A short description of the SLO.
enabled	boolean	The SLO is enabled (`true`) or disabled (`false`).
error	string	The error of the SLO calculation. If the value differs from `NONE`, there is something wrong with the SLO calculation.
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. Has the value of the evaluated error budget or the value of `-1`: If there is an error with the SLO calculation; in that case check the value of the error property. If the evaluate parameter has not been set to `true`; in that case the error property will contain no error.
errorBudgetBurnRate	SloBurnRate	Error budget burn rate evaluation of a service-level objective (SLO).
errorBudgetMetricKey	string	The key for the SLO's error budget func metric.
evaluatedPercentage	number	The calculated status value of the SLO. Has the value of the evaluated SLO status or the value of `-1`: If there is an error with the SLO calculation; in that case check the value of the error property. If the evaluate parameter has not been set to `true`; in that case the error property will contain no error.
evaluationType	string	The evaluation type of the SLO. `AGGREGATE`
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.
id	string	The ID of the SLO
~~metricDenominator~~	string	DEPRECATED The total count metric (the denominator in rate calculation). Required when the useRateMetric is set to `false`.
metricExpression	string	The percentage-based metric expression for the calculation of the SLO.
metricKey	string	The key for the SLO's status func metric.
~~metricNumerator~~	string	DEPRECATED The metric for the count of successes (the numerator in rate calculation). Required when the useRateMetric is set to `false`.
~~metricRate~~	string	DEPRECATED The percentage-based metric for the calculation of the SLO. Required when the useRateMetric is set to `true`.
name	string	The name of the SLO.
normalizedErrorBudgetMetricKey	string	The key for the SLO's normalized error budget func metric.
~~numeratorValue~~	number	DEPRECATED The numerator value used to evaluate the SLO when useRateMetric is set to `false`.
~~problemFilters~~	string[]	DEPRECATED The entity filter for fetching the number of problems related to an SLO. Auto-generated in case no filter has been added to the SLO.
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.
relatedTotalProblems	integer	Total number of problems related to the SLO. Has the value of `-1` if there's an error with fetching SLO related problems.
status	string	The status of the calculated SLO. `FAILURE` `SUCCESS` `WARNING`
target	number	The target value of the SLO.
timeframe	string	The timeframe for the SLO evaluation. Use the syntax of the global timeframe selector.
~~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.
warning	number	The warning value of the SLO. At warning state the SLO is still fulfilled but is getting close to failure.

The `SloBurnRate` object

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

Element	Type	Description
burnRateType	string	The calculated burn rate type. Has a value of 'FAST', 'SLOW' or 'NONE'. `FAST` `NONE` `SLOW`
burnRateValue	number	The burn rate of the SLO, calculated for the last hour.
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.
estimatedTimeToConsumeErrorBudget	number	The estimated time left to consume the error budget in hours.
fastBurnThreshold	number	The threshold between a slow and a fast burn rate.
sloValue	number	The calculated value of the SLO for the timeframe chosen for the burn rate calculation.
