# Create an SLO correction

`POST /api/v1/slo/correction`

Create an SLO correction. Use `slo_id` to apply the correction to a single SLO, or `slo_query` to apply the
correction to SLOs that match a query. Exactly one of `slo_id` or `slo_query` is required.

## Request body

- SLOCorrectionCreateRequest — An object that defines a correction to be applied to one or more SLOs.
  - `data` SLOCorrectionCreateData — The data object associated with the SLO correction to be created.
    - `attributes` SLOCorrectionCreateRequestAttributes — The attribute object associated with the SLO correction to be created. Exactly one of `slo_id` or `slo_query` must be provided.
      - `category` 'Scheduled Maintenance' | 'Outside Business Hours' | 'Deployment' | 'Other', required — Category the SLO correction belongs to.
      - `description` string — Description of the correction being made.
      - `duration` integer — Length of time (in seconds) for a specified `rrule` recurring SLO correction.
      - `end` integer — Ending time of the correction in epoch seconds.
      - `rrule` string — The recurrence rules as defined in the iCalendar RFC 5545. The supported rules for SLO corrections are `FREQ`, `INTERVAL`, `COUNT`, `UNTIL` and `BYDAY`.
      - `slo_id` string — ID of the single SLO that this correction applies to.
      - `slo_query` string — Query that matches the SLOs this correction applies to. The query uses the [Events search syntax](https://docs.datadoghq.com/events/explorer/searching/) and can filter SLOs by SLO tags.
      - `start` integer, required — Starting time of the correction in epoch seconds.
      - `timezone` string — The timezone to display in the UI for the correction times (defaults to "UTC").
    - `type` 'correction', required — SLO correction resource type.
