# Shift Handoff Notes: claw-gateway1 CPU Alert
- **Incident:** CPU spike to 90% on claw-gateway1 triggered medium-severity alert on 2026-05-27 at 16:50 UTC; auto-resolved at 17:10 UTC after dropping to 33.8% and sustaining below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks.
- **Root Cause:** Not definitively identified. Suspected triggers include runaway process, resource leak, traffic spike, or batch job. No manual intervention was required—alert self-resolved within ~20 minutes.
- **Current State:** RESOLVED. CPU stable at 33.8% as of last check. Host is operating normally with no active issues.
- **Watch For:** Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU over the next shift for recurrence. If CPU spikes again, SSH in and run `top -b -n 1 | head -20` to identify top processes, then check connection count with `netstat -an | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l` to determine if load is concentrated or distributed.
- **Next Steps:** No immediate action needed. Consider reviewing claw-gateway1 logs and process activity around 16:50 UTC during off-peak hours to identify the underlying cause and prevent future occurrences.
