Open SLO

What is OpenSLO?

OpenSLO is the industry-standard SLO specification. It is designed to simplify making SLOs accessible to modern developer Git workflow using a simple YAML specification, and to provide a common interface for widespread integration with the full ecosystem of cloud infrastructure, application monitoring, and performance tooling.

The process of defining service-level objectives is getting more standardized with the availability of the OpenSLO 1.0 standard. As an open source project under the Apache 2 (APLv2) license, the project welcomes contributions from the site reliability engineering ecosystem. Nobl9 is one of the project’s founding members.

Check out the OpenSLO standard and see how it makes implementing SLOs easier.

Regarding customer experience and micro-outages, we encourage teams to use SLOs to monitor failure rates at critical points in the user journey - where it matters most to users. For instance, users might tolerate a slight delay when opening an app, but they won't tolerate disruptions during important actions like checking out, saving work, or logging in. SLOs at these sensitive touchpoints help you catch and prioritize issues that truly impact user experience, without chasing minor delays that don't bother users.
