Service Level Objectives
for Solarwinds Pingdom

Pingdom is a synthetic monitoring tool known for simulating user interactions to test the availability and performance of websites and services from various global locations. It excels at providing insights into uptime, response times, and transaction flows, helping teams identify issues that could affect the end-user experience. By continuously running these synthetic checks, Pingdom ensures that websites and services perform reliably, providing detailed reports and alerts to keep teams informed about any potential disruptions.

Nobl9 integrates with Pingdom to take these synthetic monitoring insights a step further by transforming them into Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that align with user experience goals. Nobl9 leverages Pingdom's synthetic metrics to define specific performance and reliability targets at levels where users would notice a difference in service quality—such as a slowdown in response times or intermittent downtime. By setting SLOs that reflect real-world impact, Nobl9 helps teams understand when an issue is likely to affect users, allowing them to act proactively before customer satisfaction is compromised. Nobl9’s error budget tracking and advanced dashboards provide a clear, strategic view of how synthetic performance aligns with overall service health, helping teams prioritize efforts to maintain a seamless user experience.
