Properties
CustomizedMetricSpecification-
A customized metric. You must specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.

Type: CustomizedMetricSpecification
Update requires: No interruption
DisableScaleIn-
Indicates whether scaling in by the target tracking scaling policy is disabled. If scaling in is disabled, the target tracking scaling policy doesn't remove instances from the Auto Scaling group. Otherwise, the target tracking scaling policy can remove instances from the Auto Scaling group. The default is

Update requires: No interruption
TargetValue-
The target value for the metric.
Note
Some metrics are based on a count instead of a percentage, such as the request count for an Application Load Balancer or the number of messages in an SQS queue. If the scaling policy specifies one of these metrics, specify the target utilization as the optimal average request or message count per instance during any one-minute interval.
