I'm trying to set up an autoScaling stack in OpenStack Icehouse. After the normal alarms functions successful, I faced a new challenge in setting up an AlarmCombination.

[As you might know, for autoscaling feature, the repeat_actions attribute must be true, otherwise the alarm is not re-risen when the value is still over the threshold.]
However, although in the HOT each AlarmCombination's repeat_actions is set to true, Ceilometers response to Heat is repeat_actions=False. Any clue what happens? Bug?

Following some logs:

• HOT template with alarm definitions http://paste.openstack.org/show/134659/
• from template autogenerated alarms http://paste.openstack.org/show/134660/
• deleted alarmCombo and manually created alarmCombination in ceilometers CLI works fine http://paste.openstack.org/show/134662/

• heat-engine.log of creation process http://paste.openstack.org/show/134315/ - have a look at line 4vs12, 17vs25 30vs38

  ceilometer --version 1.0.9
