At Nobl9, we always seek ways to help you manage your SLOs more effectively. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the System Health Review report - a new feature that offers a clear, customizable view of your systems health. With this simple yet powerful report, you can easily track your services' performance, stay ahead of potential issues, and make data-driven decisions—all in one place.
Whether you're responsible for maintaining reliability or need to present actionable data to stakeholders, the System Health Review Report helps you streamline your workflows and better understand your SLO performance. This new tool is designed to be flexible, so you can focus on what matters most and tailor it to fit the needs of your team or organization.
Why This Report Matters
When you’re managing multiple services and SLOs, it's easy to get lost in the details. The System Health Review Report cuts through the noise by providing a high-level overview of your systems' performance. It’s designed to be flexible, allowing you to customize the report for different use cases and audiences—whether you need a detailed technical report or a simple summary for executives.
The report focuses on key metrics, highlighting which SLOs are Healthy, At Risk of exhausting their error budget, or Unhealthy based on thresholds you define. This allows you to tailor each report to the specific needs of your team or stakeholders. For example, executives might be more interested in a high-level overview of their organization’s health, while engineers may want a more nuanced view highlighting which services are at risk so they can act before things go wrong.
How You Can Use the System Health Review Report
The System Health Review Report is designed to be flexible, allowing you to group your SLOs in ways that make the most sense for your organization. Using labels, you can organize SLOs by regions, teams, products, customers, or any other grouping that fits your business model.
Imagine you’re responsible for monitoring multiple services across different teams. The System Health Review Report lets you group your SLOs by service and quickly see how each performs. Or, if you want to focus on geographic performance, you can label your SLOs by region—giving you a clear view of how your services are performing in different markets.
The report’s flexibility doesn’t stop there. You can create different versions of the report tailored to various needs. Want a high-level overview of critical services for an executive team? Set thresholds to highlight only the most urgent SLOs. Need a more detailed view for the engineering team? Add "At Risk" indicators so your team can focus on maintaining performance before problems arise.
Use Cases to Inspire You
Customers will benefit from the System Health Review Here are a few examples of how you can start using it:
- Executive Reporting: Quickly provide a high-level view of service reliability, focusing only on Healthy (green) and Unhealthy (red) SLOs to inform strategic decisions without overwhelming non-technical stakeholders.
- Team-Based Performance Tracking: Group SLOs by team or service to see which areas of your organization meet reliability targets and which might need attention.
- Proactive Monitoring: Use the report to identify at-risk SLOs, allowing your teams to take preventive action before services deteriorate.
- Cross-Region or Cross-Product Insights: Label your SLOs by region or product line to see how different areas of your business are performing. This can help you allocate resources where they’re most needed.
These are just a few ways to use the System Health Review Report to get more value from your data. The adaptability of the grouping and filtering options allows you to customize the report to fit your needs.
Configurable Time Windows and Repeat Periods
One of the most useful features of the System Health Review Report is its ability to configure time windows and repeat periods. This means you can create regular reports, such as weekly reports, on the same day and time. These recurring reports allow you to compare your system's current state with the previous report, giving you insight into trends over time.
The configuration options are rich, allowing you to tailor the schedule to your needs. You can create reports that are always up to date—showing the current state of your system in real time—or you can generate reports that are fixed to a set date in the past, ideal for tracking performance during a specific period. This flexibility ensures that no matter what your reporting needs are, the System Health Review Report can deliver the data you need when needed.
Optimizing Your Reporting Process
We know that reporting can often be time-consuming, which is why we’ve built features that reduce the manual work involved. The System Health Review Report can automatically update when new SLOs that match your criteria are created, ensuring that your data is always current. You won’t need to manually add new SLOs to the report, saving you time and letting you focus on higher-level tasks.
We believe that automating these updates makes it easier for teams to maintain their service reliability without having to worry about keeping the reports up to date.
