Ahh, ok. No, that isn't exposed currently, though we've talked about better autoscaling control before and I can see how it would be valuable. If this is something you'd want to change in the near term, you could always run a custom version of cloudman (launching via your own bucket instead of our primary cloudman one). I'll go ahead and add it to the Trello board as a future improvement idea, though. -Dannon On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Jim McCusker <jmccusker@5amsolutions.com>wrote:
I was thinking of the job idle time, where we spin up more instances if jobs sit waiting for, say, 15 seconds instead of 60.

The time after which it culls instances? It is not, but because of the way Amazon bills for instances, you never want to kill an instance until the end of the hour (since, regardless of when you kill an instance, you're billed for the remainder of the hour).

Thanks, is the idle time configurable?

You can review the exact code here( see 'slow_job_turnover') : https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/cloudman/src/7b8f04895ad309e0168cb3de66446ae20f...
But, basically, load on any particular node isn't very useful for autoscaling in this context because most jobs cannot be split among multiple nodes. What we use is a heristic to determine churn and jobs waiting to run. Generally speaking, if you have jobs waiting to run for a bit, your cluster should scale.

What are the exact conditions that will trigger autoscaling in a galaxy/cloudman instance? I'm seeing 100% utilization on the head node but no attempts by cloudman at spinning up new instances. What sort of state is supposed to trigger that?
Thanks, Jim
