Infra Monitor: Critical CPU usage at 98.5% with steep upward trend.
Host: claw-gateway1 CPU usage has critically exceeded the 95% red threshold at 98.5% and is trending sharply upward (+67.4% over last 5 readings), indicating an acute performance crisis. All other metrics are healthy: memory at 31.2%, disk usage low across all partitions, and process count normal at 141. The system appears to have just booted (0.0 hours uptime), suggesting this CPU spike may be related to startup processes, but immediate investigation is required to prevent service degradation. CPU: 98.5% | Memory: 31.2% Anomalies: CPU usage critically high at 98.5% (exceeds 95% red threshold), CPU trending sharply upward at +67.4% over last 5 readings, System uptime is 0.0 hours (very recent boot)

Severity

P1 critical: 98.5% CPU on gateway host, sharp upward trend post-boot threatens service availability.

Root Cause

  • Runaway startup process or initialization loop post-reboot
  • Misconfigured service auto-restart or deployment artifact

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1 and run top -b -n 1 | head -20 to identify CPU-consuming process.
  2. If startup process: wait 2 min for boot completion; if sustained >95%, kill offending process by PID.
  3. Check /var/log/syslog or service logs for failed deployments or infinite loops.
  4. If root cause unclear and CPU remains >80% after 3 min: escalate to Diego Perez (Telegram), then reboot as last resort.
  5. Post-action: verify CPU drops below 70% and monitor for regression.

Watch

  • CPU trend direction (should flatten/decline within 2 min of intervention).
  • Process list for respawn or restart loops; memory creep.

Escalate If

CPU remains >80% after 5 minutes of investigation or process identification fails.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes - **Incident**: Critical CPU spike (98.5%) on claw-gateway1 detected at 06:33 UTC on 2026-05-15, likely triggered by runaway startup process or service misconfiguration post-reboot. - **Resolution**: CPU automatically recovered to 51.2% within ~17 minutes and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks; incident auto-resolved at 06:55 UTC. - **Current State**: claw-gateway1 operating normally with CPU at healthy levels. No manual intervention was required. - **Root Cause**: Suspected runaway initialization process or misconfigured auto-restart logic during boot sequence—investigate service logs if spike recurs. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trend over next shift; if similar spikes return post-reboot or exceed 95% sustained, manually review top processes and service startup logs to identify the culprit process.

Incident auto-resolved at 06:55 UTC. - **Current State**: claw-gateway1 operating normally with CPU at baseline (~51%). No manual intervention was required. - **Root Cause Not Identified**: The spike resolved before process-level investigation could occur. Likely transient startup behavior, but underlying cause (runaway process, misconfig, or deployment artifact) remains unconfirmed. - **Follow-up Actions**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU spikes over next 24-48 hours. If spike recurs, SSH in and run `top` to identify offending process, then review `/var/log/syslog` and service logs for clues on startup behavior or auto-restart loops.

No active alerts or issues reported. - **Root Cause**: Likely a runaway initialization loop or misconfigured auto-restart service triggered during boot—recommend reviewing startup logs and service configurations to prevent recurrence. - **Next Steps**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU over next shift for any repeat spikes. If recurring, SSH to host and review `top` output and `/var/log/syslog` to identify the problematic process; check deployment artifacts and service restart policies.

No manual intervention was required; spike appears to have self-resolved during initialization. - **Root Cause**: Likely transient startup anomaly (runaway process or initialization loop). Actual offending process was not explicitly identified before resolution. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU regression or repeated spikes post-reboot. If pattern repeats, investigate service startup logs (`/var/log/syslog`) and identify long-running processes via `top` to pinpoint misconfiguration.
