My team has the task to establish the correct values for the auto scaling groups on our aws environment. Those values you establish on the alarms on cloudwatch, that when they are triggered the number of instances grows or decreases.
It has been suggested to us to use JMeter to stress (with lots of requests) the servers and collect metrics. But that method has not been very effective. Is there any other method we can use to obtain right values? Or how would you configure and use JMeter to this situation?
