Severity
HIGH: claw-gateway1 maxed CPU/memory creating imminent stability risk; affects gateway traffic tier.
Root Cause
- Runaway process consuming CPU/memory (check top, ps aux)
- Memory leak in application or service process
Actions
- SSH claw-gateway1; run
top -b -n 1 | head -20 to identify top CPU/memory consumers.
- Kill or restart the offending process if identified; if unclear, restart primary application service.
- Check logs (last 5min) for errors, OOM events, or deployment changes.
- If unresolved, failover traffic to backup gateway instance immediately.
- Collect process dumps and memory profile for post-incident analysis.
Watch
- CPU trend (should drop below 70% within 2min of action)
- Memory utilization (should stabilize; watch for renewed climb)
Escalate If
CPU remains >80% or memory climbs back to >90% after remediation attempt.
