SLO Service Level Objective
prompt: SLO Datadog dashboard
Datadog SLO (Service Level Objective) dashboard displays the real-time
health, target thresholds, and remaining error budgets of your critical business
and infrastructure services. You can build custom views using specific SLO
widgets, filter metrics by tags like service or env, and track burn rates
alongside infrastructure telemetry.
Key Widgets for an SLO Dashboard
- SLO Widget: Shows an individual SLO's current status, target percentage,
and remaining error budget over rolling or calendar time windows.
- SLO List Widget: Displays a filtered group of multiple objectives,
letting you sort by status or error budget consumption.
- Timeseries & Query Value Widgets: Graph raw SLO data sources like
good/bad events, burn rates, and error budgets over custom time frames.
