Service Level Objective (SLO) objects are the Automation Engine tools to support Service Level Agreements (SLAs). They depict the parties, the services, the expectations regarding those services and the reactions in case the expectations are met or not met:

Based on the parameters defined in an SLO object, the behavior of the services (tasks) is monitored. If any of the criteria is not met, the SLO object this is indicated at the earliest possible time. For information about the monitoring of the services, see Monitoring Services.
