MaxResults (integer) –
The maximum number of scalable targets. This value can be between 1 and 50. The default value is 50.

If this parameter is used, the operation returns up to MaxResults results at a time, along with a NextToken value. To get the next set of results, include the NextToken value in a subsequent call. If this parameter is not used, the operation returns up to 50 results and a NextToken value, if applicable.
NextToken (string) – The token for the next set of results.
IncludeNotScaledActivities (boolean) – Specifies whether to include activities that aren’t scaled (not scaled activities) in the response. Not scaled activities are activities that aren’t completed or started for various reasons, such as preventing infinite scaling loops.
