Data retrieval period

Prerequisite

To ensure SLI Analyzer operation for your required data source, set the data source's maximum period for historical data retrieval to five minutes or more.

• Two slots are allocated for every organization. This means you can run two SLI analyses at a time.
  Track job progress in the Job Status widget.
• Required roles for handling SLI analyses:
  • Organization admin
  • Project owner or editor
• Graph time window is set to the maximum period for historical data retrieval set to your data source by default.
• Minimum required graph time window duration is five minutes

Data sources can alter data from the past

Metric gathering systems usually downsample older data using different aggregate functions like mean or sum or simply by dropping data points. This is aimed at saving space and can affect the result of a query made against a time range in the past. Refer to the documentation of your data source for more details.

Query configuration limitations

• SLI Analyzer doesn't support historical data import for bad-over-total ratio metrics in Amazon CloudWatch. Although, you can build SLOs based on this metric.
• SLI Analyzer doesn't support rolling time windows.
