Automated SLA Compliance
Prove SLA Compliance Automatically with Zero Manual Effort
Financial services company scenario: Payment processor SLA guarantees: "Payment authorization requests receive acknowledgment within 30 seconds, 99.5% of time, measured monthly". Customer contract penalty: $10,000/month if SLA missed. Manual proof: Operations team exports logs monthly, calculates percentages in Excel (8 hours/month analyst time).
Before Nodinite Non-Events: Month-end: Operations analyst exports 2.4M payment requests, 2.398M acknowledgments, manually correlates by Transaction ID, calculates response times in Excel pivot tables, generates PDF report for customer. Time: 8 hours analyst effort ($50/hour = $400/month labor cost). Occasional errors in manual correlation (duplicate Transaction IDs, timezone mismatches) cause customer disputes.
With Nodinite Non-Events AckNak + Statistics: Configure AckNak monitoring "Payment Authorization SLA":
- Request Log View: "Payment Requests" (Search Fields: Transaction ID, Merchant ID, Amount, Timestamp)
- Response Log View: "Payment Acknowledgments" (Search Fields: Transaction ID, Authorization Code, Response Time, Timestamp)
- Correlation: Match Transaction ID
- SLA: Response expected within 30 seconds
- Statistics: Track monthly compliance (percentage within SLA, average response time, P95 response time, Max response time, missing ACKs count)
- Reporting: Export monthly statistics to CSV, integrate with Power BI dashboard
Month-end: Non-Events Statistics automatically calculated: 2,400,000 requests, 2,398,456 acks (99.936% received), 2,386,234 within 30 seconds (99.643% SLA compliance = exceeds 99.5% guarantee). Average response time: 8.3 seconds, P95: 24.1 seconds, Max: 47.2 seconds (1,544 requests exceeded SLA, all during 3 AM maintenance window documented in change control).
Business value:
- Analyst time saved: 8 hours/month → 15 minutes/month (CSV export + Power BI refresh) = 7.75 hours × $50/hour × 12 months = $4,650/year labor savings
- SLA compliance proven: Automated monthly reports (no manual errors, customer confidence increased)
- Proactive alerting: If SLA compliance drops below 99.5% during month, alert fires immediately (operations can investigate before month-end, potentially avoid $10K penalty)
- Customer transparency: Power BI dashboard shared with customer (real-time SLA metrics, builds trust, reduces disputes)
