Tags

Organizing with Tags​

Tags add a layer of structure and organization to your components in RocketSLO. They consist of two parts:

  • Key: A descriptive label for the type of information you want to categorize.
  • Values: A set of relevant values associated with the key, providing specific details.

Tag example region: ["us-west1", "us-west2"].

Today, RocketSLO supports static predefined tags, meaning you'll create a set of keys and values that can be used consistently across components.

In the future we want to support more complex tags as well. For example dynamic tags with values fetched from external systems.

Key Uses of Tags​

Structured Meta Information

Augment component descriptions with additional details. For example indicate a component's technology, location, tier, etc..

Searching and clustering

Easily filter and locate components based on specific criteria. For example find all components with the tag region: us-west1 and tier: level1.

Cluster and filter components in components graph by tag. For example cluster components by location tag to review how services are interconnected geographically.

Custom Business Rules (coming soon)

Apply tailored logic to automate tasks or trigger actions based on tag values. For example require reliability SLO with objective 99.9% for components of type service and with tag tier: 1.
