Srini, To scale jboss instance, I'd recommend to create a new scaling metric just as described in the following blog post: http://blog.scalr.net/feature/2-1-feature-highlight-custom-scaling-metrics/ If your script detected unhealthy instance, you can terminate it in any convenient way: by executing 'shutdown -h now' on it, by Scalr API or EC2 API. Second option is recommended, first is also good, the latter could result into elevated time to bring up a replacement.
