Explore the Nobl9 agent

With SLOs, you track your system's reliability. To measure SLOs, Nobl9 uses data from your monitoring solutionβ€”a tool that collects health metrics from your system. Once the connection is established, Nobl9 queries your data source for time series data and transforms it to service level indicators (SLI) for your SLO.

To put this in action, you connect to your data source using the agent or direct method.

Where does the Nobl9 agent fit in?

Both connection methods use the Nobl9 agent.

This section explains the available connection methods in Nobl9, details how to connect a data source, outlines requirements for proper operation, and describes how to diagnose the Nobl9 agent. By understanding these integration steps, you can enhance your overall monitoring and diagnostics, ensuring high-quality SLO monitoring and reliable service performance.
