There is no ceilometer-alarm-evaluator log file to check for errors.

This is not an infrastructure bug. Perhaps devstack or ceilometer.

[gordon chung (chungg)]

this seems like it was either a momentary glitch or it's been fixed inadvertently as it appears to be working fine now...

i'll leave this as incomplete since we can't verify logs

[gordon chung (chungg)]

marking invalid as we haven't seen this in months?

This devstack bug was last updated over 180 days ago, as devstack
is a fast moving project and we'd like to get the tracker down to
currently actionable bugs, this is getting marked as Invalid. If the
issue still exists, please feel free to reopen it.
