How to approach this question
Select metrics that directly measure the user's experience, not internal system resources.
Full Answer
Service Level Indicators (SLIs) should measure the service from the perspective of the user. For request-driven services (like a website), the most critical SLIs are Availability (did I get a 200 OK or a 500 Error?) and Latency (did it load in 200ms or 5 seconds?). Internal metrics like CPU or memory are useful for debugging but are poor SLIs.
Common mistakes
Choosing internal metrics like CPU Utilization (A), which is a common mistake for teams transitioning from traditional IT ops to SRE.
