Eoghan, thanks for your reply.


I modified the alarm in my template, like this:
 67     "CPUAlarmLow": {
 68       "Type": "OS::Ceilometer::Alarm",
 69       "Properties": {
 70         "description": "Scale-down if CPU is less than 20% for 10
seconds",
 71         "meter_name": "cpu_util",
 72         "statistic": "avg",
 73         "period": "10",
 74         "evaluation_periods": "1",
 75         "threshold": "20",
 76         "alarm_actions": [ {"Fn::GetAtt": ["ScaleDownPolicy",
"AlarmUrl"]} ],
 77         "matching_metadata": {"metadata.user_metadata.server_group":
"WebServerGroup" },
 78         "comparison_operator": "lt",
 79         "repeat_actions": "true"
 80       }
 81     }


but there's an error while creating the stack, here is the log:


{"error_message": {"debuginfo": null, "faultcode": "Server", "faultstring":
"repeat_actions: Wrong type. Expected '<type 'bool'>', got '<type 'str'>'"}}
160  log_http_response
