You can view the details of a scaling activity to learn the results of scaling activities triggered by scheduled tasks, event-triggered tasks, or manual execution of scaling rules.
Background information
The possible states of a scaling activity include Rejected, Executing, Successful, Warning, and Failed. For more information, see Status.
If not all the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances that are involved in a scale-out are added to a scaling group, Auto Scaling rolls back the ECS instances that failed to be added and considers the scale-out as a complete scaling activity. In this case, the scaling activity enters the Warning state. For more information, see ECS instance rollback.
Procedure
- Log on to the Auto Scaling console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Scaling Groups.
- In the top navigation bar, select the region where Auto Scaling is activated.
