Thank you for this great writeup. I work on the SLO product at Grafana and appreciate the feedback in here, we'll review and look to address in future releases.
Let me know if I can help with something. As mentioned I have a book on this topic, wrote my own SLO teaching tool, and carried tens of SLO workshops so it's safe to say that I'm pretty invested in this topic :-)
> Elastic does not create alerts by default despite me setting a target for the SLO. This is a flaw they share with Datadog.
We create a burn rate rule with the sane defaults in the background based on your SLO. When you submit the SLO you should see a little notification like "Burn rate rule created successfully". In the screenshot you posted, there was a button that said "Manage burn rate rule", that's only active when the rule already exists. The "Create burn rate rule" link is also there because we allow users to create more that one burn rate rule per SLO.
Since this is a new product for us, we are continually collecting feedback and applying it. Thank you for including us in the review, we are taking notes :)
It seems grafana SLO is only available on the cloud version (?)
