Hi Jonathan, On your compute host, can you check the configuration in /etc/ceilometer/pipeline.yaml ? The default configuration contains : - name: cpu_source interval: 600 meters: - "cpu" sinks: - cpu_sink And - name: cpu_sink transformers: - name: "rate_of_change" parameters: target: name: "cpu_util" unit: "%" type: "gauge" scale: "100.0 / (10**9 * (resource_metadata.cpu_number or 1))" publishers: - notifier:// If you change the “interval” parameter to the frequency you are after (in seconds) and restart the ceilometer agent I believe that should solve your problem. Cheers, Dan.

We run a public cloud and doing the proper tests to release heat but we hit that the meter cpu_util which it's the one that appears in almost all heat templates sample, it's taking about 10 minutes between samples which as my friend Sergio says unacceptable[1]. Question, does anyone knows if this it's the expected behavior or there's a way to speed up this meter?
