Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of the MonitorSLO element.

Goal	Required element. Represents the numerical (double) measure for the service-level objective.
UndesiredStates	Optional element. Contains the health states of a class type instance that should not be tracked when calculating the service-level objective.

Parent Elements

Remarks

A MonitorSLO element allows the user to define service-level commitments against a class type that can optionally be scoped to a ConfigurationGroup element. The monitor referenced in the MonitorId element is the ID of the monitor that will be used to determine whether or not your service-level objectives have been met in accordance with the specified goal.

Example

The following XML sample illustrates the definition of a monitor service-level objective that is reached as long as the rollup monitor for Availability is at 99% for the target class type.

<MonitorSLO ID="Microsoft.Exchange2007.SLO.CasTX.Owa.External.AvailabilityState" ConfigurationGroupId="Microsoft.Exchange2007.SLA.CasTX.Owa.External.AvailabilityState" Target="ExLibrary!Microsoft.Exchange2007.Synthetics.CasTX.Owa.External">
  <MonitorId>Health!System.Health.AvailabilityState</MonitorId>
  <Goal>99</Goal>
</MonitorSLO>
