You can create objectives based on DQL and/or SLOs.

In your case, the better fit will be create with SLOs. You first create the SLO for the levels you need, then use them as objectives in SRG.

Service/Application metrics are not yet in Grail, so not able to DQL them.

Kubernetes metrics are also not there, but at least, we have an ETA:

Planned for January 2024: New Kubernetes metrics will be available to DPS-enabled customers with the launch of the new Kubernetes app. The new metrics are subject to a new licensing model, as distinct from the current full-stack host units model.

Also, for K8S, check if the templates does fit your needs meanwhile: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/automations/site-reliability-guardian/create-srg#templates

Is there a plan for SLO metrics to become available in grail? This is a meaningful reporting context for creating organization level reports which aggregate SLOs based on divisions/application teams in order to build executive application health and error budget reporting across different leaders/teams. Presenting roll ups of SLOs is very important to product owners and division leaders.

The SLO (Service) metrics are available in grail already.

You can check all available metrics here: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/analyze-explore-automate/metrics/built-in-metrics-on-grail
