Infra Monitor: Critical CPU usage at 97.5%, immediate investigation required
Host: claw-gateway1 CPU utilization has reached 97.5% and is trending sharply upward (+77.3% over last 5 readings), triggering critical alert threshold. Memory and disk usage remain healthy at 65% and 17.5% respectively. System uptime of only 0.2 hours suggests this may be a post-boot spike, but the aggressive upward trend indicates a runaway process or resource leak requiring immediate diagnosis. CPU: 97.5% | Memory: 65.0% Anomalies: CPU usage at 97.5% exceeds critical threshold of 95%, CPU trending UP +77.3% over last 5 readings indicates acceleration, Very recent boot (0.2 hours) with already critical CPU load

Response Plan

Severity

P1: Single gateway at 97.5% CPU with +77.3% acceleration; production traffic impact if escalates.

Root Cause

  • Runaway process post-boot (0.2h uptime suggests startup misconfiguration or leak)
  • Uncontrolled resource consumption spike during initialization

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1 (161.35.229.80) and run top -bn1 | head -20 to identify top CPU consumer.
  2. Cross-check process against expected services; if unknown or anomalous, note PID and resource footprint.
  3. Check /var/log/syslog for boot errors or service startup failures in last 15 minutes.
  4. If runaway process identified, do not kill—escalate immediately with PID and process name to Diego Perez.
  5. If no clear culprit, reboot host (low uptime = acceptable recovery path) and monitor CPU for 10 minutes.

Watch

  • CPU trend: confirm downward movement or stabilization within 5 minutes of action.
  • Process list: watch for new/unexpected processes spawning post-reboot.

Escalate If

CPU remains >90% after diagnosis, or process belongs to critical service (unclear termination safety).
