CPU alert on claw-gateway1 — 98.5% (threshold: 97%)
Host: claw-gateway1 CAUSE: High CPU utilization likely driven by one or more resource-intensive processes among the 139 currently running. IMPACT: System performance degradation, increased latency, and potential service disruption if CPU remains at critical levels. ACTION: Immediately identify and investigate the top CPU-consuming processes, then terminate non-essential ones or scale resources if demand is legitimate. CPU: 98.5% | Memory: 38.8%

Severity

P1 critical: 98.5% CPU on claw-gateway1 (gateway host); all 6 ADOStack services at risk of 504 timeouts and unresponsiveness.

Root Cause

  • Runaway process among 139 running (likely gunicorn/service thread explosion)
  • Legitimate traffic spike without auto-scaling trigger

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1 (161.35.229.80) and run top -b -n 1 | head -20 to identify top CPU consumer.
  2. If single process >80% CPU: kill -9 [PID] and restart service via systemctl restart [service-name].
  3. If distributed load: scale horizontally or check nginx worker config; restart nginx if misconfigured.
  4. Confirm CPU drops below 85% within 2 minutes or page on-call manager for resource scaling decision.
  5. Once stable, check logs for traffic anomalies or memory leaks in past 15 minutes.

Watch

  • CPU trending below 80% and stabilizing within 3 minutes.
  • API response latency (confirm <500ms) and Cloudflare 504 error rate dropping to <0.1%.

Escalate If

CPU remains >90% after process termination, or restarts fail.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes — claw-gateway1 CPU Alert - **Incident**: HIGH severity CPU spike on claw-gateway1 (98.5%) at 00:05 UTC on 2026-05-29 — triggered P1 alert due to risk of 504 timeouts across all 6 ADOStack services. - **Root Cause**: Likely runaway process (suspected gunicorn/service thread explosion) among 139 running processes, combined with traffic spike that did not trigger auto-scaling. - **Resolution**: CPU auto-recovered to 53.5% by 00:15 UTC and remained stable through two consecutive clean checks; incident auto-resolved at 00:20 UTC. No manual intervention was required. - **Current State**: claw-gateway1 healthy and operating normally; all services responsive. - **Watch For**: Monitor for recurrence of CPU spikes on this host. If it happens again, SSH in and run `top` to identify the runaway process — may need to kill the process and restart the service. Investigate whether auto-scaling thresholds need adjustment to catch traffic spikes earlier.

CPU auto-resolved to 53.5% within 15 minutes and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks; incident auto-closed at 00:20 UTC. - **Current State**: claw-gateway1 stable and responsive; no manual intervention required. Services returned to normal operation. - **Watch For**: Monitor for CPU spikes >70% on claw-gateway1 over next shift. If recurrence occurs, SSH to host and run `top` to identify runaway process—may indicate need for service restart or auto-scaling configuration review. - **Follow-up**: Consider reviewing gunicorn worker/thread configuration and auto-scaling thresholds to prevent future traffic-driven spikes without triggering scale events.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes — claw-gateway1 CPU Alert - **What Happened**: HIGH severity CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 98.5% at 00:05 UTC on 2026-05-29, triggering P1 alert. Root cause identified as runaway process (likely gunicorn thread explosion) among 139 running processes, risking 504 timeouts across all 6 ADOStack services. - **What Was Done**: Alert auto-resolved at 00:20 UTC after CPU dropped to 53.5% and remained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive health checks (~15 minutes). No manual intervention was required; system self-recovered. - **Current State**: RESOLVED. claw-gateway1 CPU stable at 53.5%. All ADOStack services nominal. No services experienced downtime or timeouts. - **Watch For**: Monitor for recurrence of runaway processes on claw-gateway1 over the next 24-48 hours. If spike returns, investigate which service/process is consuming CPU and consider whether auto-scaling thresholds need adjustment. Review traffic patterns during incident window (00:05–00:20 UTC) to determine if legitimate spike or anomaly. - **Next Steps**: Optional deep-dive into process logs on claw-gateway1 to confirm root cause and prevent repeat; otherwise, escalate only if alert re-triggers.

All 6 ADOStack services were at risk of 504 timeouts. - **Resolution**: Alert auto-resolved at 00:20 UTC when CPU dropped to 53.5% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks. Root cause not explicitly documented—runaway process likely self-terminated or traffic spike subsided naturally. - **Current State**: CPU stable at 53.5% as of last check. All services operational. Incident marked RESOLVED. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trends over next 24–48 hours for recurrence. If spike repeats, manually investigate top processes via `top -b -n 1 | head -20` to identify persistent runaway process or auto-scaling configuration gaps. Review traffic patterns to confirm whether spike was legitimate or anomalous. - **Recommended**: Post-incident review recommended to determine root cause and prevent recurrence (e.g., gunicorn worker limits, load balancer tuning, or traffic anomaly detection).
