Hi,ZhiQiang,
I have the same confusion, coincidentally, for some metrics, samples can be generated from both motification-agent and central-agent(or compute-agent), such as image, floatingip, image.size..., these samples from notification can effect the statistics of the meter, further, this may broken alarm-evaluation base on the meters.

So,is it an issue?

For your question, think about using combination alarm or specifying exclude_outliers in alarm.rule, just guess :)

Hi, operators,

I have an environment running openstack havana which enables ceilometer service, and I set notify_on_state_change = vm_and_task_state in /etc/nova/nova.conf. So there are notifications being sent when instances state and task status changed, the problem that the end users may create alarm based on instance count, which mea|ns |statistics on instance meter will be used, which leading to an incorrect state of alarm, because there may be 5 vm but has 10 instances sample in 1 periods.

I think the cpu_util can replace the instance, but what about the vm has multiple cpu?

So, it is really confused me how to check vm count through statistics api

Can anyone share your experience? Or is there some material can be read?

Thanks!
