# AWS::ApplicationSignals::ServiceLevelObjective Metric
<a name="aws-properties-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric"></a>

This structure defines the metric used for a service level indicator, including the metric name, namespace, and dimensions

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[Dimensions](#cfn-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-dimensions)" : [ Dimension, ... ],
  "[MetricName](#cfn-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-metricname)" : String,
  "[Namespace](#cfn-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-namespace)" : String
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-applicationsignals-servicelevelobjective-metric-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
