Should SLOs be defined for batch processing and if so what are the best practices

[scott-smith]

I work for an insurance company where there are many batch processes that run nightly as well as daemon processes that run continuously.  Is it good practice to define SLI/SLOs for these processes and if so, are there some best practices like which metrics to use for SLIs, etc?

Hi @scott-smith 

Of course it makes sense to define SLOs for key services!

Here is my thread where you have references to making the best use of SLOs: https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/SLO-Best-Practise/m-p/209245
