Build SLOs from Synthetic Monitoring

There's no additional instrumentation or complex configuration required. Use your existing HTTP and Browser monitors to create SLOs based on the availability and performance data you're already collecting. Synthetic monitoring continuously validates APIs, websites, and user journeys from multiple global locations.

Create SLOs from HTTP or Browser monitors
Monitor your APIs, websites, and user journeys
Monitor third party service providers against your SLAs

Detect Reliability Problems Early

Instead of discovering problems after users complain, SLO tracking shows reliability trends over time and highlights services drifting toward failure. Teams can prioritize remediation before customer experience suffers.
Continuous objective evaluation for early detection of reliability regressions
Trend analysis over configurable compliance windows
Reduce customer-facing incidents

Define Reliability Goals That Matter

Move beyond raw uptime percentages and response time charts. Define measurable objectives that represent the experience your customers expect and continuously evaluate your services against them.
Availability, throughput and latency-based SLOs
Configurable compliance targets and windows
Live and historical compliance charts and alerts

Set Per-monitor Error Budgets

Every service has an acceptable amount of downtime or slow responses. Error budgets help teams understand how much reliability "budget" remains before an SLO is violated, enabling better release decisions and operational planning.
Automatic error budget calculation
Remaining budget tracking and visibility
Early warnings before SLO violations

Find Causes of Reliability Problems

SLOs become even more valuable when combined with the rest of your observability stack. Investigate failing objectives alongside synthetic test results, infrastructure metrics, logs, and distributed traces to accelerate root cause analysis.
Correlate dwindling error budget with logs, traces, and metrics
Accelerate incident investigations
Measure the impact of deployments

Built for SRE, DevOps, and Engineering Teams

Whether you're operating customer-facing APIs, SaaS platforms, ecommerce sites, or internal business applications, Service Level Objectives help engineering teams make reliability measurable, visible, and actionable. Ideal use cases:

API reliability management
Website availability tracking
Customer-facing service health
Production release validation
Monitoring of 3rd party service providers
Executive reliability reporting

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
