Maintenance windows with SLO

[JAR1]

Hi all.

How do Maintenance windows work for my SLOs?

For example, if the availability in a service "A" is down while a Maintenance windows, how is it calculated in the SLO?

Thanks

Hello Jar1,

SLOs itself do not consider set maintenance windows, except if they are related to synthetic monitoring. How the specific SLO reacts to the changing situation, based on an active maintenance window, depends on the metrics used and defined timeframes of the SLO evaluation and the maintenance window. For example, if the SLO evaluation window overlaps with a maintenance window, depending on the evaluated parameter, the SLO might not show any data. 

Best,

Gerhard
