Hi,

I installed crowdsec on my k8s cluster, with traefik TLS integration.  
It seems to work, based on the nikto test.

Thing is: I see different numbers and types/IPs in local LAPI alerts/decisions and online alerts.  
I see 7 online alerts I do not see locally, and I see some local alerts I do not see online.

Why is there such a difference? Is it wanted? Does it take time to align?

Thank you.

So the alerts you see online should be visible via `cscli alerts list` **NOT** `cscli decisions list` as the decision may have expired that why you dont see it via `decisions` . The local alerts show only locally generated alerts, within k8s there could be a chance the enrolled `LAPI` you see is not the one that enrolled as since k8s can bring up and down `LAPIs` you might need to set the enrollment key on the `LAPI` environment
