Follow these steps to change the Plixer Scrutinizer instance type to increase CPU and RAM allocations:

  1. SSH to the instance as the plixer user and stop all services via scrut_util:

    SCRUTINIZER> services all stop

  2. Power off the OS:

    shutdown -h now

  3. Stop the instance. If an Elastic IP was assigned, note the instance ID and Elastic IP address beforehand.

  4. Change the instance type and restart the instance following this guide.

  5. Verify that a new public DNS (IPv4), Private DNS, and Private IPs have been assigned. The Elastic IP address should also be re-assigned to the instance ID if necessary.
