* slo-period | string

  Default: 30d

  The default SLO period for calculations (e.g., "30d" for 30 days, "28d" for 28 days, "7d" for 7 days).
  This is used when no custom SLO period windows configuration is provided.

  Sloth uses this to generate alert windows based on Google's SRE Workbook recommendations.
  The built-in windows are optimized for 30d and 28d periods.

  **IMPORTANT**: If you use a period other than 30d or 28d, you MUST also provide
  slo-period-windows configuration. Otherwise, the charm will be in a blocked state.
* slo-period-windows | string

  Custom SLO period windows configuration in YAML format.

  This allows you to define custom alerting windows for SLO monitoring.
  When provided, this overrides the default period windows for the slo-period.

  **REQUIRED**: This configuration is REQUIRED when using a slo-period other than 30d or 28d,
  as Sloth only has built-in defaults for those two periods.

  The YAML must follow the Sloth AlertWindows spec (apiVersion: sloth.slok.dev/v1, kind: AlertWindows).

  Example for a 7-day window:
  apiVersion: sloth.slok.dev/v1
  kind: AlertWindows
  spec:
  sloPeriod: 7d
