Re: question about monasca-agent installation

 

I followed the pip method and set the monasca agent manually at one of my
vms and used the monasca docker instance  also for keystone url and monasca
api url.
I also created an alarm: avg(cpu.user_perc) > 5 times 2

I run the below command to create a
cpu load stress --cpu 2 --timeout 600

I can see the alarms are created but there is a latency. Takes some minutes
to see the alarm. How can i make it more real time or am i missing
something?

I checked the times of the two machines and they are same at tha docker
side and at my vm.
