Using SLA, you can define various SLAs and their goals, which are essential for managing and measuring the performance and quality of service provided to customers or colleagues.
Two common examples of SLAs are "Time to first response" and "Time to resolution".
For goals and their associated durations/times, the following are common:
Standard, Important, Critical
Standard, Advanced, Premium
Gold, Silver, Bronze
Basic, Intermediate, Advanced
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3
The first two goal names are used in the initial configurations (Click here for more details: How to initialize SLAs ). You can freely create your own configurations (Click here for more details: How to define SLAs and their goals ).
For each goal, a calendar can be defined. This calendar includes working time blocks, holidays, and the timezone (Click here for more details: How to define a Calendar and the working hours per day ).
Based on this information, an SLA goal instance (hereinafter also referred to as an ongoing SLA or simply SLA) is created.
It can have the following ongoing SLA states:
running – a running SLA has a due date
paused – a paused SLA has a remaining runtime
stopped – a stopped SLA can have a met or missed due date
The following state transitions exist:
Start/Create – starts an SLA, calculates the due date, and sets it to the running state
Pause – pauses a running SLA, the remaining duration is calculated, and the state is then paused
Resume – restarts a paused SLA, based on the remaining duration the due date is calculated, and the state is then running
Stop – ends an SLA, it is determined whether the due date was met, and the state is then stopped
Restart – starts an SLA, calculates the due date, and sets it to the running state.
