sloth.dev/core/validate/v1¶

This plugin validates the SLO specification to ensure it is correct and well-formed according to the Prometheus SLO dialect. It is the first plugin executed by Sloth and acts as a safety check before any rules are generated or other plugins are run.

This plugin is enabled by default and should only be disabled if you're using a custom backend (e.g., VictoriaMetrics, Loki) that requires a different validation logic. In that case, you should replace this plugin with your own validator plugin tailored to the target system.

Config¶

Order requirement¶
