Bluemix Auto-Scaling provides dynamic scale in/out capability for all Bluemix runtimes. To support the scaling for node.js runtime, you need to inject an "Node.js Auto-Scaling Agent for Bluemix"("bluemix-autoscaling-agent") module into target applications. The new module works as Bluemix Auto-Scaling agent ("client") , and must cooperate with the Bluemix auto-scaling service ("server") to complete the scaling capabilities. The "server" side is not an open source project, and only running on IBM Bluemix platform.

See https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/Auto-Scaling/index.html for more details.

This package includes the Node Application Metrics monitoring and profiling agent, which is automatically downloaded as the module is installed on your system/device. The Node Application Metrics monitoring and profiling agent is released under a proprietary IBM licence. The license agreement for Node Application Metrics monitoring and profiling agent is available in the following location: node_modules/appmetrics/licenses. Your use of the components of the package and dependencies constitutes your acceptance of this license agreement.
