Hi@akhtar,

An example of creating a Gnocchi threshold-oriented alarm, based on an upper bound on the CPU utilization for a particular instance.

$ aodh alarm create \
  --name cpu_hi \
  --type gnocchi_resources_threshold \
  --description 'instance running hot' \
  --metric cpu_util \
  --threshold 70.0 \
  --comparison-operator gt \
  --aggregation-method mean \
  --granularity 600 \
  --evaluation-periods 3 \
  --alarm-action 'log://' \
  --resource-id INSTANCE_ID \
  --resource-type instance

This creates an alarm that will fire when the average CPU utilization for an individual instance exceeds 70% for three consecutive 10 minute periods.

Thank You
