title: Compute SLO instance summaries in bulk at a point in time
description: Compute the summary of multiple SLO instances at a given point in time. The endpoint is synchronous and returns results directly. Each result contains either a summary (on success) or a per-instance error. The list of requests is limited to 100 entries. When `instanceId` is omitted or set to `'*'`, the API returns a result for each matching instance (up to 1000 per SLO). You must have the `read` privileges for the **SLOs** feature in the **Observability** section of the Kibana feature privileges.

# Compute SLO instance summaries in bulk at a point in time

Availability: Planned

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `POST` `/s/{spaceId}/api/observability/slos/_bulk_snapshot`

- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/v0/authentication#apikeyauth)
- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/kibana/v0/authentication#basicauth)

#### Path Parameters

- `spaceId` (string)
  An identifier for the space. If `/s/` and the identifier are omitted from the path, the default space is used.

## Description

Compute the summary of multiple SLO instances at a given point in time. The endpoint is synchronous and returns results directly. Each result contains either a summary (on success) or a per-instance error. The list of requests is limited to 100 entries. When `instanceId` is omitted or set to `'*'`, the API returns a result for each matching instance (up to 1000 per SLO). You must have the `read` privileges for the **SLOs** feature in the **Observability** section of the Kibana feature privileges.

## Request Body

`application/json`

- `at` (string) — required
  The point in time at which to compute the SLO instance summaries
- `requests` ([] object · max: 100) — required
  The list of SLO instances to compute. Limited to 100 entries.
  - `id` (string) — required
    The SLO definition id
  - `instanceId` (string) — optional
    The SLO instance ID. Omit this parameter or set it to `'*'` to return all instances for the SLO (up to 1000). Set a specific value to return that instance only.
