Performance Improvement with Gateway Scaling

Name

Enter a name for the scaling policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

Manual Scaling VPC/VNets

Select Spoke VPC/VNets, Transit VPC/VNets or SNAT Enabled VPC/VNets.

Monitor VPC/VNets

Trigger Conditions

Select Matches all conditions (AND) or Matches any condition (OR) to determine if all conditions must be met, or if only one of the conditions must be met.

The metric chosen must have an average greater than or less than the chosen threshold limit, relative to the Evaluation Period. In either case these conditions must be sustained for the configured Evaluation Period to generate manual scaling recommendations.

You can enter a maximum of five trigger conditions, or five groups that each contain a maximum of five trigger conditions.

See the "Creating a Manual Scaling Policy" document for the list of system and metric trigger conditions.

Evaluation Period

Enter the duration of time (in minutes) where CoPilot evaluates the average of the metric(s) specified to trigger the action of recommending gateway scaling.

Recommendation Operation

Send Notifications To

Select the email address where the notification is sent when the trigger conditions are met. If this field is left blank, you will not receive alerts.

After you receive your notification email, go to the Scaling > Recommendations tab to execute the recommendation.

Name

Enter a name for the policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

Monitor VPC/VNets

Select the VPCs/VNets to monitor.

Ideal Operating Range

Select Matches all conditions (AND) if all conditions must be met

Matches any condition (OR) if only one of the conditions must be met

You can enter a maximum of one condition per metric. Available metrics are CPU Used (%) and Memory Used (%).

For example, if you have just the CPU Used (%) metric in your policy and the percentage range is from 20-80%, automatic scaling is not triggered until conditions fall outside of this ideal operating range (for example, 90%). Automatic scaling metrics are always percentages.

Evaluation Period

Enter the number of minutes during which CoPilot evaluates the average of the metric(s) specified to trigger automatic scaling. When the average metric conditions are outside the ideal operating range, automatic scaling occurs (addition or removal of gateways).

Each metric and its operation (AND/OR) is taken into account when determining when automatic scaling will occur.

Send Notifications To

Select the email address/webhook where the notification is sent when gateway scaling has occurred. If this field is left blank you will not receive alerts.

Cool Down Period

Enter the number of minutes that must elapse between consecutive gateway scaling events. Even if the monitored VPCs/VNets fall outside the ideal operating range for the specified Evaluation Period, gateway scaling will not occur again until after the Cool Down Period has elapsed.

Name

Enter a name for the policy that clearly describes what the policy will do.

Scheduled VPC/VNets

Select the VPCs/VNets on which to apply the policy.

You can type a string in this field to display the matching VPCs/VNets. You can then click Select All to select the matching VPCs/VNets.

Scaling Schedule

Select a time to begin scaling out, and a time to begin scaling in.

On

Select the days when this scheduled scaling will be performed.

Send Notifications To

Select the email address/webhook which should receive the notification when the scaling begins and ends. If this field is left blank you will not receive alerts.
