E-MapReduce:View auto scaling activities

Last Updated:Jul 17, 2026

After auto scaling runs, you can review cluster node changes and the execution history of each scaling activity.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Go to the Auto Scaling page.

    1. Log on to the EMR on ECS console.

    2. In the top navigation bar, select a region and resource group based on your requirements.

    3. Click the name of the target cluster.

    4. On the page that appears, click the Auto Scaling tab.

  2. Click the Auto Scaling Activity Analysis tab to view the following information.

    • Auto scaling activity data charts

      Chart

      Description

      Cluster overview

      Displays the hourly number of running nodes and cores in the cluster over the selected time range.

      Cluster instance distribution by billing method

      Displays the hourly number of nodes and cores broken down by pay-as-you-go and preemptible instances over the selected time range.

      Cluster core hour statistics

      Displays the hourly core count for pay-as-you-go and preemptible instances over the selected time range.

      Cluster auto scaling overview

      Displays the hourly number of nodes added and removed by auto scaling over the selected time range.

      Successful/failed auto scaling activities

      Displays the hourly count of successful and failed auto scaling activities over the selected time range.

      Distribution of scaling failure reasons

      Displays the breakdown of failure reasons for auto scaling activities over the selected time range.

    • Auto scaling records

      You can filter auto scaling records by triggering rule name, node group ID, status, date, and node name. The following table describes each activity status.

      Status

      Description

      Running

      The activity is in progress.

      Successful Execution

      All requested nodes were successfully added or removed as specified by the auto scaling rule.

      Execution failed

      No nodes were added or removed. The auto scaling rule failed entirely.

      Partially Successful

      Some nodes were added or removed as specified by the auto scaling rule, but others failed due to issues like disk quota limits or insufficient ECS resources.

      Request Denied

      The system rejects a scaling request if it would cause the instance count to exceed the configured maximum or drop below the minimum, or if another auto scaling activity is already in progress.

      Note

      The system periodically clears expired data, so the console displays auto scaling records for the last 60 days only.
