NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a ALBserverautoscalepolicy

If a ALBserverautoscalepolicy with the alb-serverautoscalepolicy-id is not already present,
create a new ALBserverautoscalepolicy. If it already exists, update the
ALBserverautoscalepolicy. This is a full replace.
This API is only available when using VMware NSX-T.

ALBServerAutoScalePolicy (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
children	subtree for this type within policy tree subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource Children are not allowed for this type
delay_for_server_garbage_collection	Delay for server garbage collection Delay in minutes after which a down server will be removed from Pool. Value 0 disables this functionality. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 0.	integer	Default: "0"
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
intelligent_autoscale	Intelligent autoscale Use Avi intelligent autoscale algorithm where autoscale is performed by comparing load on the pool against estimated capacity of all the servers. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as false.	boolean	Default: "False"
intelligent_scalein_margin	Intelligent scalein margin Maximum extra capacity as percentage of load used by the intelligent scheme. Scalein is triggered when available capacity is more than this margin. Allowed values are 1-99. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 40.	integer	Minimum: 1 Maximum: 99 Default: "40"
intelligent_scaleout_margin	Intelligent scaleout margin Minimum extra capacity as percentage of load used by the intelligent scheme. Scaleout is triggered when available capacity is less than this margin. Allowed values are 1-99. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 20.	integer	Minimum: 1 Maximum: 99 Default: "20"
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
markers	Markers List of labels to be used for granular RBAC. Allowed in Basic edition, Essentials edition, Enterprise edition.	array of ALBRoleFilterMatchLabel
max_scalein_adjustment_step	Max scalein adjustment step Maximum number of servers to scalein simultaneously. The actual number of servers to scalein is chosen such that target number of servers is always more than or equal to the min_size. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 1.	integer	Default: "1"
max_scaleout_adjustment_step	Max scaleout adjustment step Maximum number of servers to scaleout simultaneously. The actual number of servers to scaleout is chosen such that target number of servers is always less than or equal to the max_size. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 1.	integer	Default: "1"
max_size	Max size Maximum number of servers after scaleout. Allowed values are 0-400.	integer	Minimum: 0 Maximum: 400
min_size	Min size No scale-in happens once number of operationally up servers reach min_servers. Allowed values are 0-400.	integer	Minimum: 0 Maximum: 400
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value ALBServerAutoScalePolicy	string
scalein_cooldown	Scalein cooldown Cooldown period during which no new scalein is triggered to allow previous scalein to successfully complete. Unit is SEC. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 300.	integer	Default: "300"
scaleout_cooldown	Scaleout cooldown Cooldown period during which no new scaleout is triggered to allow previous scaleout to successfully complete. Unit is SEC. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as 300.	integer	Default: "300"
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
use_predicted_load	Use predicted load Use predicted load rather than current load. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by ALB Controller as false.	boolean	Default: "False"
