Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 97.1% with +64.9% upward trend at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09. Alert triggered P1 severity due to imminent service degradation risk. • **Resolution**: Incident auto-resolved at 00:21 UTC after CPU dropped to 46.6% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks (~5min apart). Root cause not explicitly identified in logs—likely runaway process (gunicorn, cron job, or background task) that self-corrected or was killed. • **Current State**: RESOLVED. claw-gateway1 CPU stable at 46.6% as of last check. No manual intervention was required; auto-resolver cleared the alert. • **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trends over next shift. If spike recurs, manually SSH and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu` to identify runaway process before it escalates. Check systemd logs for service restarts or cron anomalies. • **Runbook Available**: AI Infra Monitor runbook was available during incident; reference it if similar alert fires on other gateway hosts.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident Summary**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 97.1% with +64.9% upward trend at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09 (P1 severity). Alert auto-resolved after 18 minutes when CPU dropped to 46.6% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks. • **Root Cause**: Runaway process identified as likely culprit (gunicorn, cron job, or background task). Underlying cause not definitively determined before auto-resolution; process may have completed naturally or been terminated by system limits. • **Current State**: RESOLVED — CPU stable at 46.6% as of 00:21 UTC. No active alerts. claw-gateway1 operating normally. • **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU utilization over next shift for signs of process recurrence. If spike returns, SSH to host and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu` to identify culprit before it auto-resolves. Check systemd logs for failed cron jobs or service restarts. • **Recommended Follow-up**: Review runbook recommendations for identifying root cause in next incident to prevent recurrence and enable proactive remediation rather than relying on auto-resolution.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 97.1% (+64.9% upward trend) at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09 — P1 severity triggered due to imminent service degradation risk. • **Resolution**: Incident auto-resolved at 00:21 UTC when CPU dropped to 46.6% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks. Root cause (runaway process) was self-mitigated; no manual intervention required. • **Current State**: claw-gateway1 stable at 46.6% CPU utilization. All infra health sources confirmed (runbook, past incidents, infra metrics available). • **Watch For**: Monitor for CPU spike recurrence on claw-gateway1 over next 4-8 hours. If spike returns, investigate: (1) gunicorn/service processes via `ps aux --sort=-%cpu`, (2) scheduled cron jobs, (3) cloud infrastructure CPU steal. Be prepared to restart affected service or kill runaway processes. • **Recommended Follow-up**: Review claw-gateway1 logs and process metrics from 00:00-00:30 UTC to identify what triggered the spike and prevent recurrence.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident Summary**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 peaked at 97.1% (+64.9% upward trend) at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09 — P1 severity triggered due to imminent service degradation risk. • **Resolution**: Alert auto-resolved at 00:21 UTC after CPU dropped to 46.6% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks (~5 min monitoring window). Root cause of spike not explicitly identified in logs. • **Current State**: claw-gateway1 is healthy with CPU at 46.6%. Service is stable and operational. • **Watch For**: Monitor for CPU spike recurrence — suspected causes include runaway gunicorn processes, cron jobs, or background tasks. If spike returns, SSH to host and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` to identify top consumer before escalating. • **Next Steps**: Review claw-gateway1 process logs and cron schedules during next maintenance window to identify what triggered the spike and prevent recurrence.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident Summary**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 peaked at 97.1% with +64.9% upward trend at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09 (P1 severity). Suspected root cause: runaway process (gunicorn, cron job, or background task). • **Resolution**: CPU auto-resolved to 46.6% within 18 minutes; auto-resolver confirmed sustained recovery with 2 consecutive clean checks and closed incident at 00:21 UTC. No manual intervention logs recorded. • **Current State**: Host stable at 46.6% CPU utilization, well below 70% threshold. claw-gateway1 operational and no active alerts. • **Follow-up Actions**: Investigate what caused the spike (review process logs, cron jobs, and recent deployments on claw-gateway1). Identify if runaway process was naturally terminated or self-resolved. • **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU recurrence over next 24-48 hours; escalate if CPU returns to >70% or exhibits similar upward trends. Consider reviewing systemd service configs and background task scheduling.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes • **Incident**: Critical CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 97.1% (+64.9% upward trend) at 00:03 UTC on 2026-05-09 — P1 severity triggered due to imminent service degradation risk. • **Resolution**: CPU automatically recovered to 46.6% within ~18 minutes and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks, triggering auto-resolution at 00:21 UTC. Root cause (runaway process) was not explicitly identified before recovery. • **Current State**: RESOLVED — Host CPU stable at 46.6%. No manual intervention was required; alert cleared via auto-resolver mechanism. • **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU spike recurrence. If spike repeats, SSH to host and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` to identify runaway process (likely gunicorn, cron job, or background task). Be prepared to restart services or kill offending PID. • **Follow-up**: Consider root cause analysis if pattern repeats — may indicate insufficient resource allocation, scheduling conflict, or infrastructure-level CPU steal.

If spike returns, SSH in and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` to identify the offending process. Review recent cron jobs and service deployments for anomalies. • **Runbook Available**: Full remediation steps documented in AI Infra Monitor runbook (restart services or kill runaway processes as needed).

Alert triggered due to imminent service degradation risk on gateway host. • **Resolution**: CPU auto-resolved to 46.6% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks (00:16–00:21 UTC). Incident closed automatically; suspected root cause was a runaway process (gunicorn, cron job, or background task), but specific PID was not identified before recovery. • **Current State**: claw-gateway1 CPU nominal at 46.6%. No further alerts or manual intervention required at handoff. • **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU spike recurrence over next shift. If spike returns, SSH in and run `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` to identify the culprit process. Be prepared to restart the offending service or kill the runaway process. • **Follow-up**: Consider root cause analysis (RCA) to determine why the CPU spike self-resolved—may indicate intermittent job, memory pressure, or transient load spike. Review systemd logs and cron activity if pattern repeats.
