The expected percentage for each time frame (day, month, year).

Expected monthly breach limit

Expected yearly breach limit

The threshold that determines if the SLA is marked as breached for the month or for the year, even if the minimum percentage was not reached.

Example:

Minimum/month = 95%

Expected/day = 98%

Expected monthly breach limit = 3

If PRTG SLA Reporter detects 3 or more values below the Expected/day value (98%), the SLA will be marked as breached for the given month, even if the average percentage of availability is 98% (greater than the 95%, which is the minimum percentage configured).
