This structure contains the information about the metric that is used for a period-based SLO.

## Contents
<a name="API_ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric_Contents"></a>

 ** MetricDataQueries **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-MetricDataQueries"></a>
If this SLO monitors a CloudWatch metric or the result of a CloudWatch metric math expression, this structure includes the information about that metric or expression.   
Type: Array of [MetricDataQuery](API_MetricDataQuery.md) objects  
Required: Yes

 ** DependencyConfig **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-DependencyConfig"></a>
Identifies the dependency using the `DependencyKeyAttributes` and `DependencyOperationName`.   
Type: [DependencyConfig](API_DependencyConfig.md) object  
Required: No

 ** KeyAttributes **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-KeyAttributes"></a>
This is a string-to-string map that contains information about the type of object that this SLO is related to. It can include the following fields.  
+  `Type` designates the type of object that this SLO is related to.
+  `ResourceType` specifies the type of the resource. This field is used only when the value of the `Type` field is `Resource` or `AWS::Resource`.
+  `Name` specifies the name of the object. This is used only if the value of the `Type` field is `Service`, `RemoteService`, or `AWS::Service`.
+  `Identifier` identifies the resource objects of this resource. This is used only if the value of the `Type` field is `Resource` or `AWS::Resource`.
+  `Environment` specifies the location where this object is hosted, or what it belongs to.
Type: String to string map  
Map Entries: Maximum number of 4 items.  
Key Pattern: `[a-zA-Z]{1,50}`   
Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No

 ** MetricSource **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-MetricSource"></a>
Identifies the metric source for SLOs on resources other than Application Signals services.  
Type: [MetricSource](API_MetricSource.md) object  
Required: No

 ** MetricType **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-MetricType"></a>
If the SLO monitors either the `LATENCY` or `AVAILABILITY` metric that Application Signals collects, this field displays which of those metrics is used.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `LATENCY | AVAILABILITY`   
Required: No

 ** OperationName **   <a name="applicationsignals-Type-ServiceLevelIndicatorMetric-OperationName"></a>
If the SLO monitors a specific operation of the service, this field displays that operation name.
