Infra Monitor: CPU critically high at 96.5%, urgent investigation required.
Host: claw-gateway1 CPU usage has reached 96.5% and is trending upward significantly (+44.2% over the last 5 readings), triggering a critical alert. Memory, disk, and process counts remain healthy with substantial headroom. The rapid CPU escalation suggests a runaway process or resource contention that demands immediate investigation. CPU: 96.5% | Memory: 27.3% Anomalies: CPU usage at 96.5% exceeds critical threshold of 95%, CPU trending upward sharply at +44.2% over last 5 readings, indicating acceleration

Response Plan

Severity

P1 critical: single gateway node at 96.5% CPU with accelerating trend; potential service degradation if process runaway continues.

Root Cause

  • Runaway or hung process consuming CPU
  • Legitimate workload spike or resource contention

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1 (161.35.229.80) and run top -b -n 1 | head -20 to identify top CPU consumer.
  2. Cross-check with ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20 and note process name, PID, CPU%, runtime.
  3. Verify not a known recurring issue: check recent incident history and recent deployments to claw-gateway1.
  4. If runaway process identified: stop it (kill or service restart) or escalate to service owner if legitimate workload.
  5. Confirm CPU drops below 85% and stabilizes within 2 minutes post-action.

Watch

  • CPU trending downward post-action; target <85% sustained.
  • Process count and memory remain stable (rule out restart loops or cascading failures).

Escalate If

CPU remains >90% after 5 minutes of investigation or process cannot be safely stopped.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes: claw-gateway1 CPU Alert - **Incident Summary**: P1 CPU spike on claw-gateway1 (96.5% → 27.4%) at 00:03 UTC on 2026-06-03. Suspected runaway/hung process; auto-resolved after 17 minutes when CPU sustained below 70% threshold. - **What Was Done**: Auto-resolver triggered after 2 consecutive clean checks confirmed CPU dropped to safe levels. No manual intervention documented; root cause (specific process) not identified in logs. - **Current State**: ✅ RESOLVED. CPU stable at 27.4%. Host is operational with no ongoing alerts. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trends over next shift. If spike recurs, manually SSH (161.35.229.80) and run `top` / `ps aux` to identify the problematic process before auto-resolution masks the issue. Check for workload patterns or process leaks. - **Outstanding**: Root cause analysis incomplete—consider trending data to determine if this is a recurring pattern or one-off event requiring deeper investigation.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes: claw-gateway1 CPU Alert - **What Happened**: P1 CPU spike on claw-gateway1 reached 96.5% at 00:03 UTC on 2026-06-03, suspected runaway or hung process causing potential gateway degradation. - **Resolution**: CPU automatically recovered to 27.4% within 17 minutes and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks, triggering auto-resolution at 00:20 UTC. Root cause of spike not definitively identified. - **Current State**: Incident auto-resolved. claw-gateway1 operating normally at 27.4% CPU. No manual intervention was required or documented. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU metrics closely over next shift for recurring spikes. If spike recurs, SSH to host and run `top` / `ps aux --sort=-%cpu` to identify the specific runaway process before it impacts service. - **Action Items**: Consider post-incident review to determine root cause (runaway process vs. legitimate workload spike) and implement permanent monitoring/alerting if this is a known pattern.

Auto-resolved at 00:20 UTC when CPU dropped to 27.4% and sustained below 70% threshold for 2 consecutive checks. - **Root Cause**: Not definitively identified. Suspected runaway/hung process or legitimate workload spike, but process normalized before manual investigation could be completed. - **Current State**: RESOLVED. claw-gateway1 CPU stable at 27.4% as of last check. No manual remediation was performed; issue self-cleared. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for recurrence of high CPU spikes over next 24-48 hours. If spike returns, investigate top CPU consumers via `top` and `ps aux --sort=-%cpu` to identify root cause before auto-resolution masks the issue. - **Recommended Follow-up**: Review claw-gateway1 process logs and historical metrics to determine if this was a transient anomaly or early warning sign of systemic issue.

No manual intervention was required; root cause of spike was not explicitly identified. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU spike recurrence. If CPU spikes again, SSH in and run `top -b -n 1` + `ps aux --sort=-%cpu` to identify the offending process. Check runbook for known recurring issues on this gateway node. - **No Action Required**: Incident auto-cleared and stabilized. Pass to next shift with elevated monitoring on claw-gateway1 for 24-48 hours.
