Hi Reka, Thanks for the explanation. I think my question was more directed towards how can I simulate the statistics to exceed the thresholds to trigger the scale up, especially in the context of test automation.
So to rephrase it, how can I simulate cartridge statistics events without having to modify the cartridge code ?

Say, it a group(G1) has two independent clusters(no dependent scaling) C1 and C2. G1 - min 1 max5 C1 - min 1 max2 (applies per cluster instance) C2 - min 2 max 3 (applies per cluster instance) Where C1 and C2 are children of G1. At the beginning, we will create one group instance say G11 and corresponding cluster instance for C1 and C2 of G11 will get created. Then each C1 and C2's cluster instance will receive stats per cluster instance wise. If the stats is greater than the threshold, then as C1 and C2's cluster instance have room to scaleup by one more instance according min and max configuration, each clusters will get scaleup until it hits the max. Once max is reached, if the stats is still high, then when C1 or C2 doesn't have space to scaleup, it will notify the parent (G1). So, G1 will check whether it has group scaling capability. If so, it will try to create new group instance. If no group scaling enable, it will notify its parent. If the eventual parent application, then application will try to get busted if there is space. If you mention your configuration as below, then when the stats is higher, group scaling will immediately happen as C1 and C2 don't have space to scaleup: G1 - min 1 max5 C1 - min 1 max1 C2 - min 2 max 2 Hope above points will help you to test the group scaling.

I was wondering if you have any suggestion how to actually force / simulate the conditions to force a group to scale up ? How does it work in the sample application (to get the group to scale up) ? Btw I am using open stack as IaaS, not the Mock IaaS. Thanks Martin -- Reka Thirunavukkarasu Senior Software Engineer, WSO2, Inc.:http://wso2.com, Mobile: +94776442007
