<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can somebody give me an example of how I’d create an alarm via the Telemetry (aka Ceilometer) REST API? I can’t for the life of me find a simple example online, say for example, how to set an alarm for when cpu_util > 80% for a given running instance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I saw this example in a presentation somewhere, but it’s not exactly self-explanatory.</div>
