    Table 1. Fields in the Add SLI form
    Field Description
    SLI name Enter a name for your SLI. For example, Critical router issue.
    Data source This field is auto-populated.

    The alerts from this data source, also known as integration, are used to calculate the error budget.
    Set conditions (optional)

    Customize your SLI by filtering it to specific configuration items or alerts. The fields in this section are optional.
    Filter by CI Filter your SLI to a configuration item (CI) within the parent service's hierarchy.

    Filtering an SLI to a CI can help you more accurately track service health and identify root causes faster.
    Add condition set Select this option to specify the alerts included in the error budget.

    For example, if you set the condition to Status is Critical, only alerts with a critical status count toward the error budget.
