Ensure production reliability with an SLO driven approach
Welcome to Service Level Objectives (SLOs) in Dynatrace. Let's explore how Dynatrace can help you create and monitor SLOs, track error budgets, and predict violations/problems before they occur, so teams can prevent failures and downtime.

Dynatrace's guided wizard makes it easy for anyone to set up an SLO. You can select common, pre-defined SLOs based on our built-in metrics or use custom and calculated metric expressions.

Defining SLO target thresholds is critical for meeting Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and internal Business Level Objectives (BLOs). If your SLO falls below your set target or warning threshold percentages, we’ll alert you that the SLO failed or is trending towards failing.

Next, define what service or application the SLO is for and the timeframe being monitored (e.g., 14 days). As a best practice, we recommend assigning each SLO to a management zone for better access control and governance.

In this example, the dashboard shows the current, past 7 day, and past 14-day values for “Shopping Cart Service” SLO. Despite the SLO showing as good currently, Davis AI has detected one or more issues impacting the error budget (highlighted by the red exclamation mark). Clicking on the SLO tile allows us to investigate the problem.

Now, onto viewing your configured SLOs. Rather than manually searching multiple screens, you can pin critical SLOs on a single dashboard and customize the visual representation as charts or graphs.

Once remediated, the system shows everything as green, indicating the system has returned to its normal state. Thanks to Davis AI, you have quickly identified the root cause of the problem and resolved it promptly before it could impact the customer.
Similarly, when failures or outages occur in production without warning, follow the same process leveraging Davis AI to identify and triage issues.

Davis AI has determined the root cause of the problem is faulty coding of the login service. This has caused multiple failed login requests and left users unable to use the shopping cart function. The development team has now been notified and can work towards remediation.

Here we see an overview of the specific problem. Davis AI not only pinpoints the services affected but displays the root cause. This eliminates the guesswork required and saves precious time for Development teams to triage issues. Let's analyze failure rate degradation.
