  2. Select + ADD

  3. Populate the following:

NAME

AUTO UPSCALE

Enable to automatically upscale per Scale Threshold specifications

AUTO DOWNSCALE

Enable to automatically downscale per Scale Threshold specifications

MIN COUNT

Minimum node count for Instance. Auto-scaling will not downscale below MIN COUNT, and will auto upscale if the MIN COUNT is not met)

MAX COUNT

Maximum node count for Instance. Auto-scaling will not upscale past MAX COUNT, and will auto downscale if MAX COUNT is exceeded.

ENABLE MEMORY THRESHOLD

Check to set auto-scaling by specified memory utilization threshold (%)

MIN MEMORY

Enter MIN MEMORY % for triggering downscaling.

MAX MEMORY

Enter MAX MEMORY % for triggering upscaling.

ENABLE DISK THRESHOLD

Check to set auto-scaling by specified disk utilization threshold (%)

MIN DISK

Enter MIN DISK % for triggering downscaling.

MAX DISK

Enter MAX DISK % for triggering upscaling.

ENABLE CPU THRESHOLD

Check to set auto-scaling by specified overall CPU utilization threshold (%)

MIN CPU

Enter MIN CPU % for triggering downscaling.

MAX CPU

Enter MAX CPU % for triggering upscaling.
