DORA Metrics is in Preview.

Overview

The four DORA Metrics are calculated based on two types of events that support different data sources.

Deployment events
Indicate that a new deployment has occurred for a service in a specific environment. Deployment events are used to compute deployment frequency, change lead time, and change failure rate.
Incident events
Indicate that a new failure has occurred for a service in a specific environment. Incident events are used to compute change failure rate and mean time to restore.

Configure data sources

Limitations

  • When you first select a data source option (such as APM Deployment Tracking or PagerDuty), DORA Metrics begins populating data from that point forward. If you switch from source A to source B, then back to source A, the historical data from source A is only available from the time it was first selected.
  • Deployments or incidents of the same service cannot occur at the same second.
