Proposal

Is there a way to do nothing when an empty metric response is returned from AWS CloudWatch? The current behaviour appears to be to return the minMetricValue, but would it be possible to do nothing in this case? I may of overlooked the option for this though

https://github.com/kedacore/keda/blob/main/pkg/scalers/aws_cloudwatch_scaler.go#L385-L386

Happy to implement this if functionality doesn't exist in the current AWS CloudWatch scaler options.

Use-Case

We are experimenting with the AWS Scaler and custom metrics. The use case here is when the system producing metrics is offline and unable to produce metrics, we would want no scaling actions to take place.

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

Yes

Anything else?

No response
