Asg Activity
Every Auto Scaling group with capacity, scaling rules and a 24-hour activity timeline.
What this pane shows
Per-ASG view: current capacity vs desired vs min/max, a 24-hour sparkline of in-service instance count, the scaling policies attached (target tracking, step scaling, scheduled), and a timeline of recent scaling activity (launches, terminations, rollback events) with the cause AWS reports for each.
Key use cases
- Investigate why an ASG scaled up or down overnight.
- Confirm scaling rules are firing as expected during traffic peaks.
- Catch an ASG that's pinned at max with no headroom for spikes.
- Audit scaling policies across the fleet before a load-test event.
How to embed
lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime
(and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script;
the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.
<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/asg-activity/asg-activity.css">
<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>
<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-asg-activity-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/asg-activity/asg-activity.js" defer></script>

Build notes
Stage 2 wiring (2026-04-28): ASG inventory live via lp-fetch.js (service autoscaling_groups); per-ASG capacity sparkline via lpFetch.metrics() over CloudWatch GetMetricData (AWS/AutoScaling.GroupInServiceInstances)
Mock-only at the moment — live-wiring tracked in the roadmap.
