Projects

Projects are the primary logical grouping of resources in the Nobl9 platform. All Nobl9 resources, such as data sources, SLOs, and alerts, are created within a project.

Access controls at the project level let users control who can see and change these resources. For example, you can allow all your users to view the SLOs in a given project, but only a few can make changes.

Before you can start creating SLOs, you must create a project to put them in. Follow these steps to create a project:

1. Go to Catalog > Projects.

2. Click .
3. Enter a Display Name.
   You can enter a user-friendly name with spaces in this field.
4. Enter a Name.
   The name is mandatory and can only contain lowercase, alphanumeric characters, and dashes (for example, my-project-1). Nobl9 duplicates the display name here, transforming it into the supported format, but you can edit the result.
5. Select or add Labels.
   Labels have a specific format and must conform to the following rules:
   

   • key: value format
   • key can contain only lowercase alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dashes; must start with a letter and end with an alphanumeric character; maximum length 63 characters
   • value can contain Unicode characters; maximum length 200 characters
   • Maximum of 20 labels attached
6. Enter a Description.
   Here you can add details such as who is responsible for the integration (team/owner) and the purpose of creating it.
7. Click Create Project.

Moving SLOs between projects

You can't move your existing SLOs between projects without losing your SLO's historical data.
