Dynamic Application Sizing Nomad Task Target

This functionality only exists in Nomad Autoscaler Enterprise. This is not present in the open source version of Nomad Autoscaler.

Note that currently Prometheus is the only APM available for Dynamic Application Sizing

The app-sizing-nomad target plugin reports on the current task resource value as well as submits recommendations to Nomad via the recommendations API endpoint based on the result of the Dynamic Application Sizing strategy calculations.

Agent Configuration Options

The app-sizing-nomad plugin is automatically launched by Nomad Autoscaler Enterprise and so the following setup is optional.

target "app-sizing-nomad" {
  driver = "app-sizing-nomad"
}

Policy Configuration Options

If using the Nomad job specification scaling block to configure the scaling policy for a task resource, the following section can be omitted as Nomad will populate them on job submission. Please also refer to the Nomad Autoscaler policy documentation for additional detail and guidance.

check "mem" {
  ...
  target "app-sizing-nomad" {
    Namespace = "default"
    Job       = "example"
    Group     = "cache"
    Task      = "Redis"
    Resource  = "MemoryMB"
  }
  ...
