+# UC-004: Zero-Config SLO Tracking
+
+**Status:** Core Feature (Phase 3)  
+**Complexity:** Intermediate  
+**Setup Time:** 5 minutes (one line of config!)  
+**Target Users:** DevOps, SRE, Engineering Managers
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Overview
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+**Current SLO Tracking:**
+- Manual instrumentation (middleware, metrics, alerts)
+- Complex setup (Prometheus exporters, PromQL, Grafana dashboards)
+- Time investment: 1-2 weeks for proper SLO monitoring
+- Maintenance burden: keep dashboards/alerts updated
+
+### E11y Solution
+
+**One line of config → full SLO monitoring:**
+```ruby
+E11y.configure { |config| config.slo_tracking = true }
+```
+
+**Result:**
+- ✅ HTTP request metrics (availability, latency)
+- ✅ Background job metrics (success rate, duration)
+- ✅ Auto-generated Grafana dashboards
+- ✅ Auto-generated Prometheus alerts
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Configuration
+
+> **Implementation:** See [ADR-003 Section 3: Multi-Level SLO Strategy](../ADR-003-slo-observability.md#3-multi-level-slo-strategy) and [Section 4: Per-Endpoint SLO Configuration](../ADR-003-slo-observability.md#4-per-endpoint-slo-configuration) for detailed architecture.
+
+### Minimal Setup (5 seconds)
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/e11y.rb
+E11y.configure do |config|
+  config.slo_tracking = true  # That's it!
+end
+```
+
+**Auto-enabled:**
+- Rack middleware (HTTP requests)
+- Sidekiq middleware (background jobs)
+- ActiveJob instrumentation
+- Prometheus metrics export
+
+---
+
+### Production Setup (5 minutes)
+
+```ruby
+E11y.configure do |config|
+  config.slo_tracking = true
+  
+  config.slo do
+    # Ignore non-user-facing endpoints
+    controller 'HealthController' do
+      ignore true
+    end
+    
+    controller 'MetricsController' do
+      ignore true
+    end
+    
+    # Admin endpoints: different SLO
+    controller 'Admin::BaseController' do
+      ignore true  # Or set lenient targets
+    end
+    
+    # Critical endpoints: strict SLO
+    controller 'Api::OrdersController', action: 'create' do
+      latency_target_p95 200  # ms
+    end
+    
+    # Long-running jobs: exclude from SLO
+    job 'ReportGenerationJob' do
+      ignore true
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Auto-Generated Metrics
+
+> **Implementation:** See [ADR-003 Section 3.1: Application-Wide SLO](../ADR-003-slo-observability.md#31-level-1-application-wide-slo-zero-config) for automatic metric generation architecture.
+
+### HTTP Metrics
+
+```promql
+# Request count by status
+yabeda_slo_http_requests_total{controller="OrdersController",action="create",status="200"}
+
+# Latency histogram
+yabeda_slo_http_request_duration_seconds{controller="OrdersController",action="create"}
+
+# Availability (derived)
+100 * (
+  sum(rate(yabeda_slo_http_requests_total{status=~"2..|3.."}[30d])) /
+  sum(rate(yabeda_slo_http_requests_total[30d]))
+)
+```
+
+### Background Job Metrics
+
+```promql
+# Job success/failure
+yabeda_slo_sidekiq_jobs_total{class="ProcessOrderJob",status="success"}
+yabeda_slo_sidekiq_jobs_total{class="ProcessOrderJob",status="failed"}
+
+# Job duration
+yabeda_slo_sidekiq_job_duration_seconds{class="ProcessOrderJob"}

+
+## 📐 Sampling Correction for Accurate SLO (C11 Resolution) ⚠️ CRITICAL
+
+**Reference:** [ADR-009 Section 3.7: Stratified Sampling for SLO Accuracy (C11 Resolution)](../ADR-009-cost-optimization.md#37-stratified-sampling-for-slo-accuracy-c11-resolution) and [CONFLICT-ANALYSIS.md C11](../researches/CONFLICT-ANALYSIS.md#c11-adaptive-sampling--slo-tracking)
+
+### Problem: Sampling Bias Breaks SLO Metrics
+
+When E11y uses **adaptive sampling** to reduce costs (dropping 90% of events), **naive SLO calculations become inaccurate** because sampling is not uniform across success and error events.
+
+**Example - Inaccurate Success Rate:**
+
+```ruby
+# Real production traffic (1000 requests):
+# - 950 success (HTTP 200) → 95% success rate ✅ TRUE
+# - 50 errors (HTTP 500) → 5% error rate
+
+# With random sampling (10% sample rate):
+# - 95 success observed (10% of 950)
+# - 5 errors observed (10% of 50)
+# Total: 100 events observed
+
+# Naive SLO calculation (without correction):
+success_rate = 95 / (95 + 5) = 0.95  # 95% ✅ CORRECT (by luck!)
+
+# But if sampling is biased (more success dropped than errors):
+# - 85 success observed (9% of 950 - unlucky!)
+# - 5 errors observed (10% of 50)
+# Total: 90 events
+
+# Naive calculation:
+success_rate = 85 / (85 + 5) = 0.944  # 94.4% ❌ WRONG! (Should be 95%)
+```
+
+**Impact:**
+- ❌ **False SLO alerts:** Dashboard shows 94.4% (failing SLO) when true rate is 95% (passing)
+- ❌ **Wrong business decisions:** Acting on inaccurate metrics
+- ❌ **Lost trust:** Teams stop believing SLO dashboard
+
+### Solution: Stratified Sampling + Correction Math
+
+E11y uses **stratified sampling** (keep 100% of errors, sample 10% of success) and **sampling correction** to restore accurate SLO metrics.
+
+**Correction Formula:**
+
+```ruby
+# For each severity stratum (errors, warnings, success):
+corrected_count = observed_count × (1 / sample_rate)
+
+# Example:
+# - Errors: observed=50, sample_rate=1.0 → corrected=50 × 1 = 50 ✅
+# - Success: observed=95, sample_rate=0.1 → corrected=95 × 10 = 950 ✅
+
+# Corrected success rate:
+corrected_success_rate = (corrected_success + corrected_warnings) / 
+                         (corrected_success + corrected_warnings + corrected_errors)
+                       = (950 + 0) / (950 + 0 + 50)
+                       = 950 / 1000
+                       = 0.95  # 95% ✅ ACCURATE!
+```
+
+### SLO Calculator with Sampling Correction
+
+**E11y automatically applies correction** when calculating SLO metrics:
+
+```ruby
+# lib/e11y/slo/calculator.rb
+module E11y
+  module SLO
+    class Calculator
+      # Calculate success rate with sampling correction
+      def calculate_success_rate(events)
+        # Group events by sampling stratum
+        events_by_stratum = events.group_by do |event|
+          event[:metadata][:sampling_stratum]  # :errors, :warnings, :success
+        end
+        
+        # Apply sampling correction for each stratum
+        corrected_counts = {}
+        
+        events_by_stratum.each do |stratum, stratum_events|
+          sample_rate = stratum_events.first[:metadata][:sampling_rate]
+          
+          # Correction factor: 1 / sample_rate
+          # Example: 10% sample rate → multiply by 10
+          correction_factor = 1.0 / sample_rate
+          
+          corrected_counts[stratum] = {
+            observed: stratum_events.count,
+            corrected: (stratum_events.count * correction_factor).round,
+            sample_rate: sample_rate
+          }
+        end
+        
+        # Calculate corrected totals
+        corrected_success = corrected_counts.dig(:success, :corrected) || 0
+        corrected_warnings = corrected_counts.dig(:warnings, :corrected) || 0
+        corrected_errors = corrected_counts.dig(:errors, :corrected) || 0
+        
+        total = corrected_success + corrected_warnings + corrected_errors
+        
+        # Success rate = (success + warnings) / total
+        # (warnings are not SLO violations, only errors are)
+        success_rate = (corrected_success + corrected_warnings) / total.to_f
+        
+        {
+          success_rate: success_rate,
+          error_rate: corrected_errors / total.to_f,
+          breakdown: corrected_counts,
+          total_corrected_events: total,
+          sampling_correction_applied: true
+        }
+      end
+      
+      # Calculate P99 latency with correction
+      def calculate_p99_latency(events)
+        latencies = []
+        
+        events.each do |event|
+          latency = event[:payload][:duration_ms]
+          sample_rate = event[:metadata][:sampling_rate]
+          correction_factor = (1.0 / sample_rate).round
+          
+          # Duplicate latency by correction factor
+          # (simulate missing events for percentile calculation)
+          correction_factor.times { latencies << latency }
+        end
+        
+        # Calculate P99
+        latencies.sort!
+        p99_index = (latencies.size * 0.99).ceil - 1
+        latencies[p99_index]
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```ruby
+# SLO calculation automatically applies correction
+calculator = E11y::SLO::Calculator.new
+result = calculator.calculate_success_rate(events)
+
+puts result[:success_rate]  # => 0.95 (95% - accurate!)
+puts result[:breakdown]
+# => {
+#   errors: { observed: 50, corrected: 50, sample_rate: 1.0 },
+#   success: { observed: 95, corrected: 950, sample_rate: 0.1 }
+# }
+```
+
+### Accuracy Comparison: With vs Without Correction
+
+| Scenario | True Success Rate | Naive Calculation | With Correction | Error |
+|----------|-------------------|-------------------|-----------------|-------|
+| **Uniform sampling** | 95.0% | 95.0% | 95.0% | 0.0% ✅ |
+| **Stratified (errors 100%, success 10%)** | 95.0% | 94.4% ❌ | 95.0% ✅ | -0.6% |
+| **High error rate (10%)** | 90.0% | 84.6% ❌ | 90.0% ✅ | -5.4% |
+| **Very high error rate (50%)** | 50.0% | 33.3% ❌ | 50.0% ✅ | -16.7% |
+
+**Key Insight:**  
+Without sampling correction, **error rate spikes cause SLO calculations to become severely inaccurate** (up to 16.7% error!). With correction, accuracy is maintained regardless of error rate.
+
+### Configuration
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/e11y.rb
+E11y.configure do |config|
+  config.slo_tracking = true
+  
+  # Stratified sampling for accurate SLO
+  config.cost_optimization do
+    sampling do
+      strategy :stratified_adaptive  # ✅ Use stratified sampler
+      
+      stratification do
+        # Stratum 1: Errors (always keep - 100% accuracy)
+        stratum :errors do
+          severities [:error, :fatal]
+          http_statuses (500..599).to_a
+          sample_rate 1.0  # 100% - never drop errors!
+        end
+        
+        # Stratum 2: Warnings (medium sampling)
+        stratum :warnings do
+          severities [:warn]
+          http_statuses (400..499).to_a
+          sample_rate 0.5  # 50%
+        end
+        
+        # Stratum 3: Success (aggressive sampling - 90% cost savings)
+        stratum :success do
+          severities [:info, :debug, :success]
+          http_statuses (200..399).to_a
+          sample_rate 0.1  # 10% - drop 90%!
+        end
+      end
+      
+      # SLO calculation with automatic correction
+      slo_correction do
+        enabled true  # ✅ Apply sampling correction
+        
+        # Verify correction accuracy (alert if off by >1%)
+        verify_accuracy true
+        alert_threshold 0.01  # 1% error tolerance
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Monitoring Correction Accuracy
+
+E11y exposes metrics to monitor sampling correction accuracy:
+
+```ruby
+# Grafana dashboard queries:
+
+# 1. Correction factor by stratum
+yabeda_e11y_slo_correction_factor{stratum="success"}
+# => 10.0 (10% sample rate → 10x correction)
+
+yabeda_e11y_slo_correction_factor{stratum="errors"}
+# => 1.0 (100% sample rate → no correction)
+
+# 2. Correction error rate (should be < 1%)
+yabeda_e11y_slo_correction_error_rate
+# => 0.001 (0.1% error - within tolerance ✅)
+
+# 3. SLO accuracy drift alert
+# Alert if correction error > 1%
+ALERTS[yabeda_e11y_slo_correction_error_rate > 0.01]
+```
+
+**Alert example:**
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus/alerts/e11y_slo.yml
+- alert: E11ySLOCorrectionInaccurate
+  expr: yabeda_e11y_slo_correction_error_rate > 0.01
+  for: 10m
+  annotations:
+    summary: "E11y SLO correction error > 1% (stratified sampling may be misconfigured)"
+    description: "Expected success rate: {{ $labels.expected }}, Actual: {{ $labels.actual }}, Error: {{ $value }}"
+```
+
+### Cost Savings vs Accuracy Trade-off
+
+| Sampling Strategy | Success Sample Rate | Cost Savings | SLO Accuracy | Recommendation |
+|-------------------|---------------------|--------------|--------------|----------------|
+| **No sampling** | 100% | 0% | 100% | ❌ Expensive |
+| **Random 50%** | 50% | 50% | ~95% | ⚠️ Inaccurate |
+| **Stratified 50%** | 50% (errors 100%) | 50% | 99.9% ✅ | ✅ Balanced |
+| **Stratified 10%** | 10% (errors 100%) | **90%** | 99.9% ✅ | ✅ **Best** |
+| **Stratified 1%** | 1% (errors 100%) | 99% | 95% | ⚠️ Too aggressive |
+
+**Recommendation:** Use **stratified sampling with 10% success sample rate** for optimal cost savings (90%) while maintaining SLO accuracy (99.9%).
+

+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Summary: SLO Accuracy Guarantees
+
+With stratified sampling + sampling correction, E11y provides:
+
+✅ **Error rate accuracy: 100%**  
+All errors captured (sample rate 1.0) → no error data loss.
+
+✅ **Success rate accuracy: 99.9%**  
+Sampling correction restores true success rate (±0.1% error).
+
+✅ **Latency percentiles accuracy: 95%**  
+Latency correction (duplicate by factor) preserves percentile distribution.
+
+✅ **Cost savings: 90%**  
+10% success sample rate → 90% reduction in events stored.
+
+**Trade-off:**  
+Sampling correction adds ~0.1ms CPU overhead per SLO query (negligible compared to 90% cost savings).

+
+## 🎯 Error Budget Management
+
+> **Implementation:** See [ADR-003 Section 7: Error Budget Management](../ADR-003-slo-observability.md#7-error-budget-management) for detailed architecture and deployment gates.
+
+**Track your SLO error budget in real-time:**
+
+```ruby
+# Query error budget for any endpoint
+budget = E11y::SLO::ErrorBudget.new('OrdersController', 'create', slo_config)
+
+budget.total             # => 0.001 (0.1% for 99.9% target)
+budget.consumed          # => 0.0005 (50% of budget used)
+budget.remaining         # => 0.0005 (50% of budget left)
+budget.percent_consumed  # => 50.0
+budget.exhausted?        # => false
+budget.time_until_exhaustion  # => 14.5 days (at current burn rate)
+```
+
+### Deployment Gate (Optional)
+
+**Prevent deployments when error budget is exhausted:**
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/e11y.rb
+E11y.configure do |config|
+  config.slo do
+    error_budget do
+      # Block deployments if <20% budget remaining
+      deployment_gate enabled: true, minimum_budget_percent: 20
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**CI/CD integration:**
+
+```bash
+# Before deployment, check error budget
+rails e11y:slo:check_budget
+
+# Exit code 0: ✅ Budget available, deploy
+# Exit code 1: ❌ Budget exhausted, block deploy
+```
+
+**Example output:**
+
+```
+Checking SLO Error Budget...
+
+OrdersController#create:
+  ✅ Budget: 75% remaining (Target: 99.9%, Actual: 99.925%)

+## 🔍 SLO Config Validation
+
+> **Implementation:** See [ADR-003 Section 6: SLO Config Validation & Linting](../ADR-003-slo-observability.md#6-slo-config-validation--linting) for validator architecture and edge cases.
+
+**Validate your SLO configuration before deployment:**
+
+```bash
+# Validate slo.yml file
+rails e11y:slo:validate
+
+# Output:
+# ✅ Version: 1 (valid)
+# ✅ Schema structure: valid
+# ✅ All endpoints exist in routes (12 endpoints checked)
+# ✅ All jobs exist in Sidekiq (3 jobs checked)
+# ✅ SLO targets: valid (99.9%, 200ms p95)
+# ⚠️  Warning: OrdersController#show has no latency target (using default 200ms)
+# 
+# Validation: PASSED (0 errors, 1 warning)
+```
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+**Catch configuration errors before deploy:**
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/ci.yml
+name: CI
+on: [push]
+jobs:
+  slo-validation:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - name: Validate SLO Config
+        run: bundle exec rails e11y:slo:validate --strict
+        # --strict flag: warnings become errors
+```
+
+### Common Validation Errors
+
+```ruby
+# ❌ ERROR: Endpoint doesn't exist in routes
+endpoint 'OrdersController', action: 'destroy' do
+  latency_target_p95 200
+end
+# Fix: Ensure route exists or remove from slo.yml
+
+# ❌ ERROR: Invalid SLO target (must be 0.0-1.0)
+availability_target 99.9  # ❌ Should be 0.999, not 99.9
+availability_target 0.999  # ✅ Correct
+
+# ❌ ERROR: Job class doesn't exist
+job 'NonExistentJob' do
+  success_rate_target 0.99
+end
+# Fix: Ensure job class is loaded or remove from config
+
+# ⚠️  WARNING: Conflicting latency targets
+# Global: 200ms, Endpoint: 300ms
+# Resolution: Endpoint-specific target (300ms) takes precedence
+```
+

+
+## 💡 Best Practices
+
+### ✅ DO
+
+1. **Exclude internal endpoints**
+   ```ruby
+   config.slo do
+     controller 'HealthController' { ignore true }
+     controller 'MetricsController' { ignore true }
+   end
+   ```
+
+2. **Set realistic targets**
+   ```ruby
+   config.slo do
+     latency_target_p95 200  # Default: reasonable
+     controller 'Api::SearchController' do
+       latency_target_p95 500  # Search = slower, OK
+     end
+   end
+   ```
+
+3. **Ignore expected errors**
+   ```ruby
+   config.slo do
+     http_ignore_statuses [404, 401, 422]  # Not service errors
+   end
+   ```
+
+### ❌ DON'T
+
+1. **Don't include test traffic in SLO**
+   ```ruby
+   # ✅ Filter test traffic
+   config.slo do
+     ignore_if { |event| event.context[:user_agent] =~ /healthcheck|pingdom/ }
+   end
+   ```
+
+2. **Don't set unrealistic targets**
+   ```ruby
+   config.slo do
+     latency_target_p95 10  # ❌ 10ms is too aggressive for most apps
+     latency_target_p95 200  # ✅ 200ms reasonable default
+   end
+   ```
