View and manage SLOs in Elastic Observability

Serverless Stack 9.1.0

Manage your service level objectives (SLOs) from the SLO Management page. View SLO definitions, monitor the health of your SLOs, and perform actions such as purging data, checking SLO health, and deleting SLOs.

×

To open the SLO Management page:

1. Navigate to the SLOs page in the main menu, or use the global search field.
2. Select Manage SLOs.

Actions like deleting SLOs and purging SLO data require a role with edit privileges for SLOs. Users with read-only privileges can use the SLO Management page to find unhealthy SLOs that need attention.

From the SLO Management page, use the search bar to find SLOs by name. Use the Filter tags menu to include or exclude SLOs from the view based on the defined tags.

Stack Planned

The Health column of the SLO management table shows the following:

• Healthy: the SLO transforms are operating as expected.
• Needs attention: the SLO transforms are not operating as expected and need attention.

Select Needs attention to inspect the transforms with issues.

For more on SLO transforms and troubleshooting SLO health, refer to Understanding SLO internals.

1. From the SLO Management page, select the checkbox next to the SLOs you want to delete.
2. From the Selected [number] SLO menu, select Delete.
3. Select Delete.
