How to Disable Automation

Welcome to the Automation Control guide!

We’ve put together this guide to help you take control of the automation of your workloads with ease, either through our API or directly from our UI.

Disabling Automation via API

For a specific Workload

Example request:

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/recommendation/default/deployment/test-deployment \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"automateEnabled":false}'

For an entire Namespace

Example request:

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/recommendation/default \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"automateEnabled":false}'

Disabling Automation via UI

Alternatively, you can also disable automation for a specific workload or entire namespace using our UI in one simple click.

For a specific Workload

Simply navigate to the workload in the ScaleOps dashboard and toggle the automation button off like shown in the image below -

For an entire Namespace

Choose the namespace you want from the namespaces filter as shown in the image below.

Next, click on the Actions button and choose Un-Automate by namespaces as shown in the image below.

Remember, you can always re-enable automation using the same API, but setting automation_enabled to true instead.
