Create a Basic Dashboard

Describe SLO/SLI

Describe, in your own words, what the SLIs are, based on an SLO of monthly uptime and request response time. ?

The SLI for monthly uptime would be 99.5% monthly uptime. And for request response time would be response time below 5 sec per request.

Creating SLI metrics.

It is important to know why we want to measure certain metrics for our customers. Describe in detail 5 metrics to measure these SLIs.

1. Time Taken for a request to respond.
2. The number of failed requests.
3. The number of requests over a period of time.
4. CPU and Memory utilization by the service.
5. Fronted & Backend service uptime.

Report Error

TROUBLE TICKET

Name: POST Request to `localhost:8081/star` gives 500 error

Date: 03-12-2021

Subject: Upon sending a POST request to Backend API star endpoint i.e `localhost:8081/star` with payload is failing with 500 error

Affected Area: Backend API /star endpoint

Severity: 1

Description: MongoDB instance is not set up properly which is causing the 500 
error

Creating SLIs and SLOs

We want to create an SLO guaranteeing that our application has a 99.95% uptime per month. Name four SLIs that you would use to measure the success of this SLO.

1. Latency
2. Error
3. Traffic
4. Saturation

Building KPIs for our plan

Now that we have our SLIs and SLOs, create a list of 2-3 KPIs to accurately measure these metrics as well as a description of why those KPIs were chosen. We will make a dashboard for this, but first, write them down here.

1. Latency:

   • Frontend and Backend Service Uptime
   • Average time is taken to send a response

2. Error:

   • Total number of 40x & 50x errors in Frontend
   • Total number of 40x & 50x errors in Backend

3. Traffic:

   • Number of requests over 30s
   • Number of requests with 200 responses over 30s

4. Saturation:

   • CPU usage by the Frontend & Backend.
   • Memory usage by the Frontend & Backend.

Final Dashboard

Description:

1. Average time is taken by the request for a response.
2. Frontend service uptime status.
3. Backend service uptime status.
4. Frontend service 40x & 50x errors.
5. Backend service 40x & 50x errors.
6. Backend Memory usage.
7. Frontend Memory usage.
8. Number of requests received over 30sec.
9. Number of requests received with 200 responses over 30sec.
10. Frontend CPU usage.
11. Backend CPU usage.
