-As described in alarms_guide.rst, this plugin allows you to create Aodh
-threshold alarms. This type of alarm can be defined in a heat template using
-an OS::Aodh::Alarm resource.
-Define this resource with the ceilometer meter that you want to monitor and
-the threshold you want the alarm to be triggered at.
