cx-slos
Manage Coralogix SLO (Service Level Objective) definitions with the `cx slos` CLI — list and inspect SLOs, check whether targets and error budgets are healthy, and create, update, or delete SLO definitions from JSON. Use when the user asks to "list SLOs", "check SLO status", "is an SLO breaching", "

SLO Management Skill
An SLO (Service Level Objective) defines a reliability target for a service —
e.g. "99.9% of requests succeed over 28 days". Use this skill to inspect SLO
definitions, judge whether they are healthy, and manage their lifecycle.
CLI Commands
Command Purpose
cx slos list List all SLO definitions
cx slos get <id Get a single SLO by ID
cx slos create from file <path Create an SLO from a JSON definition [requires yes ]
cx slos update from file <path Replace an SLO definition from JSON [requires yes ]
cx slos delete <id Delete an SLO [requires yes ]
All commands support o json for structured output and p <profile (repeatable) for multi profile fan out.
create / update read from from file <path , or for stdin (the default).
create , update , and delete are write operations and require yes in non interactive / agent mode.
SLO Definition
The fields surfaced on every SLO:
Field Meaning
name Human readable SLO name
description Optional description
targetThresholdPercentage The objective, e.g. 99.9
sloType SLO TYPE REQUEST (request based) or SLO TYPE WINDOW (window based)
sloTimeFrame Rolling window, e.g. SLO TIME FRAME 7 DAYS , SLO TIME FRAME 28 DAYS
productType The pillar the SLO is computed from, e.g. SLO PRODUCT TYPE APM
Monitoring SLO Health
Compare the live attainment against targetThresholdPercentage to judge whether
the SLO is healthy or burning error budget. A request based SLO measures the
fraction of good events; a window based SLO measures the fraction of good time
windows. After triage, pivot to the cx telemetry querying skill to find the root
cause of a breach in logs, spans, or metrics.
Creating and Updating SLOs
The safest way to author an SLO is to round trip an existing one — template from the
exact field shape that get returns rather than hand writing JSON:
update and delete report the alert IDs they affect ( effectedSloAlertIds ), so
review that list — changing or removing an SLO can disable the alerts attached to
it.
Key Principles
Check attainment vs. target, not just existence — an SLO at 99.91% against a
99.9% target has almost no error budget left and needs attention before it breaches.
Round trip definitions — template create/update payloads from cx slos get
rather than hand writing JSON, to keep the exact field shape the API expects.
create / update / delete need yes in agent / non interactive mode.
Watch affected alerts — update / delete return effectedSloAlertIds ; deleting
an SLO can silence its alerts.
Multi profile fan out with p <profile (repeatable) to compare SLOs across environments.
