This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Cloud and its products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

For 1):
Autoscaler now provides the UI /API/ CLI to query the scaling histories and metrics within a given period of time.
For 2):
we are considering this feature but it will go to the open source edition https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/app-autoscaler that we are developing in the CF community. We have the strategy to migrate over from existing proprietary implementation to the open source edition tentatively end of this year for public cloud. It could be available for CFaaS earlier than that.
For 3):
We have concerns to scale app directly based on the CPU metric since CPU is actually weighted shared, its allocation depends on other application instances in the same CELL. That is the reason why in Autoscaler we don't provide the ability to view CPU metrics and scale based on that.
We are doing some research on how to provide a reasonable way for scaling based on CPU, while there is no guarantee whether and when we will have this feature. Again, if we have a solution, it will be provided in the open source edition.
Thank you for for submitting this request. We are looking into this as three separate items.
The Autoscale service team is currently looking into the metrics it provides for tracking scaling events
Please add some information on why the Auditor role specifically needs this level of access. Typically it would be the Manager or Developer roles that would have this level of access detail
The admin console displays app specific metrics that are accessible from the UI. It also provides APIs to pull these data for use by customer admins
