Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos List and search SLOs · Get a paginated list of SLOs #
Ask an LLM
“Which service level objectives are defined in my Kibana space?”
“Can I filter SLOs with a KQL query and hide stale ones?”
Tell an agent
List the SLOs in space {spaceId}.
Find SLOs in space {spaceId} matching {kqlQuery}.
POST /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos Create a service level objective · Create an SLO #
Ask an LLM
“How do I define a new SLO with a target and time window?”
“Can I choose occurrences or timeslices as the budgeting method for a new SLO?”
Tell an agent
Create SLO {name} in {spaceId}: {description}; indicator {indicator}, target {objective}, window {timeWindow}, {budgetingMethod} budgeting.
Set up a new {name} objective in {spaceId} grouped by {groupBy}: {description}, {indicator}, target {objective}, {timeWindow}, {budgetingMethod}.
POST /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_bulk_delete Bulk delete SLO definitions · Bulk delete SLO definitions and their associated summary and rollup data #
Ask an LLM
“How do I delete many SLOs and their summary and rollup data at once?”
“Does bulk SLO deletion run as a background task I can track?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Bulk delete SLOs {list} in space {spaceId}.
Start a background deletion of the SLO definitions {list} from {spaceId}.
GET /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_bulk_delete/{taskId} Check the status of a bulk SLO deletion · Retrieve the status of the bulk deletion #
Ask an LLM
“Has my bulk SLO deletion finished yet?”
“What were the results of a bulk delete task for SLOs?”
Tell an agent
Check bulk delete task {taskId} in space {spaceId}.
Tell me whether SLO deletion task {taskId} in {spaceId} is complete.
POST /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_bulk_purge_rollup Purge SLO rollup and summary data · Batch delete rollup and summary data #
Ask an LLM
“Can I purge old rollup data for SLOs while keeping the definitions?”
“What purge policy options exist when clearing SLO rollup data?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Purge rollup data for SLOs {list} in {spaceId} using purge policy {purgePolicy}.
Clear the rollup and summary history of SLOs {list} in space {spaceId} per {purgePolicy}.
POST /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_bulk_snapshot Compute summaries for many SLO instances at once · Compute SLO instance summaries in bulk at a point in time #
Ask an LLM
“How do I get the status of up to 100 SLO instances as of a past moment?”

POST /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_delete_instances Delete data for specific SLO instances · Batch delete rollup and summary data #
Ask an LLM
“How do I remove the rollup and summary data for particular SLO instance IDs?”
“Can I delete one grouped instance of an SLO without deleting the SLO?”
Tell an agent destructive · confirm first
Delete the SLO instances {list} in space {spaceId}.
Remove summary data for these sloId and instanceId pairs {list} in {spaceId}.
DELETE /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/{sloId} Delete an SLO · Delete an SLO #

Delete SLO {sloId} in space {spaceId}.
Remove the objective {sloId} from {spaceId}.
GET /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/{sloId} Get an SLO · Get an SLO #
Ask an LLM
“Where do I fetch one SLO's definition and current status?”
“Can I get a single instance of a grouped SLO?”
Tell an agent
Get SLO {sloId} in space {spaceId}.
Show instance {instanceId} of SLO {sloId} in {spaceId}.
PUT /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/{sloId} Update an SLO · Update an SLO #

“How do I reset an SLO so it recalculates from scratch?”
“Can I restart an SLO's computed data after changing its source?”
Tell an agent
Reset SLO {sloId} in space {spaceId}.
Recompute objective {sloId} in {spaceId} from the beginning.
GET /s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/{sloId}/_snapshot Compute one SLO's summary at a point in time · Compute an SLO instance summary at a point in time #
