Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

IBM Instana's Service Level Indicator (SLI) configuration capabilities emphasize trace-based and event count-based SLIs. The verified guide details: 'Instana supports SLI definitions based on distributed trace data and event counts, such as request rate, error rate, or latency.' Trace-based SLIs allow direct measurement of real user or synthetic transactions for detailed performance objectives (e.g., 99th percentile response time). Event count-based SLIs track operational markers such as number of errors, alerts, or specific incidents---essential for regulatory uptime or compliance audits. Error logs, time-based or alert-based SLIs can be visualized but are not supported as direct SLI definitions by Instana, according to verified IBM configuration steps. The combination of traces and event counts provides the flexibility to set quality objectives, measure reliability, and drive alerting in line with SRE principles.

I'm confident the answer is A) Traces based and C) Time based. Instana must support those, right?

I believe the correct answers are traces based and alerts based, but I might be mixing it up with another tool.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think error logs based was one of the options we discussed.

I think Instana supports traces based and time based SLIs, but I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

Hmm, I'm a bit stuck on this one. I know Instana has SLI capabilities, but I can't recall the specific types. I'll have to guess and hope I get at least one right.

I've got this! Instana supports traces-based and time-based SLI types. I'm pretty sure about that. The other options don't sound familiar to me.

Okay, let me think this through. I remember Instana has a few different SLI types, but I'm not certain which ones. I'll try to eliminate the options that don't sound right and see if I can narrow it down.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know Instana has some SLI options, but I can't remember the exact types off the top of my head. I'll need to review my notes to be confident in the answer.
