+    Improve alert generation for load balancers that have a non-``ACTIVE`` provisioning state
+    despite an ``ONLINE`` operational state.  Previously, if a load balancer was in a
+    transitional state such as ``PENDING_UPDATE`` (``provisioning_state``) while still marked
+    as ``ONLINE`` (``operational_state``), the gauge metric
+    ``openstack_loadbalancer_loadbalancer_status{provisioning_status!="ACTIVE"}`` did not
+    trigger an alert.  This update addresses the issue by ensuring that alerts are properly
+    generated in these scenarios.
