# How Do I Monitor SLA Specifically for Critical Automations?

You monitor SLA for critical automations by applying tighter thresholds and alerts specifically where the stakes are highest, payment approvals, compliance deadlines, urgent support, rather than the same monitoring everywhere. On **Jestor**, this means configuring **SLA** limits per process, not uniformly across every automation.

Not every process needs the same level of SLA scrutiny. Applying uniform monitoring everywhere either ignores genuine risk in critical processes or creates unnecessary alert fatigue in routine ones.

## What generic SLA monitoring misses

- The same alert sensitivity applied to both routine and mission-critical processes
- No differentiation between a minor delay and a genuinely urgent one
- Alert fatigue from too many low-risk notifications, causing real ones to be ignored
- No clear escalation path specifically for the highest-risk cases

## How to monitor critical automation SLA specifically

- Identify which automated processes carry the highest cost if delayed
- Set tighter **SLA** thresholds specifically for those, compared to routine processes
- Configure escalation, not just notification, for critical cases exceeding their threshold
- Review SLA data for critical processes more frequently than routine ones

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- SLA thresholds and alerts can be configured per process, not uniformly across everything
- Escalation rules can differ between critical and routine automations
- Dashboards can be scoped specifically for critical process monitoring
- Reduces alert fatigue by reserving urgency for genuinely urgent cases

| Process type      | SLA monitoring approach                 |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Routine, low risk | Standard thresholds, basic notification |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can SLA thresholds differ between automations?** Yes, thresholds are configured per process, not uniformly. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Can critical automations have a different escalation path?** Yes, escalation rules can be configured specifically for high-risk cases.

**Does this require a separate monitoring tool for critical processes?** No, it is the same SLA system, configured more tightly for specific processes.
