Edit the scaling_config.json file.
In the "compute_resource_sets" section, locate the "available_applications" section.
Define the application using the descriptions and example below as a guide:
Property in web UI Property in scaling_config.json file Description Name "name" The name of the application Version "version" The application version Installation Path "install_path" The path of the Ansys installation (not applicable if using Kubernetes plugin) Executable "executable" The path of the application executable (not applicable if using Kubernetes plugin) Environment "environment" Environment variables to be used (not applicable if using Kubernetes plugin) Resource Name "resource_name" Specifies the Kubernetes object (deployment/statefulset) name to be used as the target resource by KEDA.
This corresponds to the Target Resource Kind ("target_resource_kind") specified in the configuration file.
If "target_resource_kind"="deployment", specify the deployment name.
If "target_resource_kind"="statefulset", specify the StatefulSet name.
If "target_resource_kind"="job", specify the image name with tag.
