How to check what nodes were scaled up?

[arturCh]

In our capability we have a k8s cluster used by 3 teams (Token Service, Identity Center and PacMan/IAM). 

in last two days, we noticed unusual activity by intensive scaling up nodes, so I would like to know what pods/nodes were added-scaled up.

Briefly checked on AWS console that it was not IAM. Then, wanted to check if that was Identity Center or Token Services pods. However, I am totally lost on the new UI and do not see how can I easily figure it out. Using classic-ones, it was more intuitive for me. Could you share a best-practice/path/route - how to check from new dashboard -> through new k8s app, what was scaled up and when/why?

Good luck - I don't think you will easily find it in the new UI. you would need to build a custom dashboard and or notebook to see this.
 
easiest and quickest is to go old school (logs classic), check your Kubernetes events for the following
content "pod triggered scale-up" 
and if you want to see what node came up, then set the Kubernetes events,  k8s.namespace.name: 'kube-system', content" 'scale-up'

Thanks
