Infra Monitor: Critical CPU usage at 91.9% with sharp upward trend.
Host: claw-gateway1 CPU usage has reached 91.9% and is trending sharply upward (+81.4% over the last 5 readings), crossing the yellow threshold and approaching critical levels. All other metrics remain healthy with memory at 43.5%, disk utilization well below limits, and process count normal. Immediate investigation required to identify the CPU-consuming process before system performance degrades further. CPU: 91.9% | Memory: 43.5% Anomalies: CPU usage at 91.9% exceeds yellow threshold (80%), Strong upward CPU trend (+81.4% over last 5 readings) indicates accelerating load, CPU approaching critical red threshold (95%)

Alert received from AI Infra Monitor. Host: claw-gateway1, Severity: HIGH

Response Plan

Severity

HIGH: Single gateway host at 91.9% CPU with accelerating trend; risk of service degradation/loss if exceeds 95%.

Root Cause

  • Runaway process consuming CPU (check top, ps aux by CPU)
  • Sudden traffic spike to claw-gateway1 (check request logs, connection count)

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1; run top -b -n1 | head -20 to identify top CPU consumer immediately.
  2. If single process >80% CPU: kill -9 its PID after confirming it's non-critical, or isolate traffic away from host.
  3. If distributed load: drain traffic from claw-gateway1 (remove from LB), monitor CPU drop to confirm it's load-driven.
  4. Check for deploy/config changes in last 30 min via git log / deployment dashboard.
  5. Once isolated: analyze logs of top process and request patterns; decide restart vs. rollback.

Watch

  • claw-gateway1 CPU trend (should flatten/drop within 2 min of action).
  • Error rates on gateway requests (alert if spike during traffic drain).

Escalate If

CPU hits 95% OR doesn't drop within 3 min of killing top process / draining traffic.

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes - **Incident Summary:** HIGH severity alert on claw-gateway1 for critical CPU spike (91.9%) with upward trend at 00:03 UTC on 2026-06-04. Auto-resolved at 00:20 after CPU dropped to 24.1% and remained stable for 2 consecutive checks. - **What Happened:** Alert triggered by runaway process or traffic spike; root cause was not explicitly identified in logs before auto-resolution. AI plan suggested checking top processes and request logs, but no manual intervention appears to have been executed. - **Current State:** RESOLVED. claw-gateway1 CPU now at 24.1% (well below 70% threshold). Service appears stable with no ongoing degradation. - **Watch For:** Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trends closely next shift—the rapid spike and quick recovery suggest an intermittent issue. If CPU spikes again, manually SSH to the host and run `top -b -n1` to identify the culprit process before auto-resolution masks it. - **Outstanding:** Consider post-incident review to determine actual root cause (process vs. traffic) and whether monitoring/alerting thresholds need adjustment given the sharp acceleration pattern.

If pattern repeats, investigate process logs and request traffic to identify persistent root cause; runbook was unavailable during incident

Handoff notes generated: # Shift Handoff Notes - **Incident:** HIGH severity CPU alert triggered on claw-gateway1 at 00:03 UTC (2026-06-04) with CPU spiking to 91.9% and sharp upward trend; risk of service degradation if exceeded 95%. - **Root Cause:** Suspected runaway process or traffic spike; AI plan recommended checking top processes and request logs, but no manual investigation was performed before auto-resolution. - **Resolution:** CPU automatically normalized to 24.1% within ~17 minutes; auto-resolver confirmed sustained recovery with 2 consecutive clean checks and auto-resolved at 00:20 UTC. - **Current State:** RESOLVED. claw-gateway1 operating normally at 24.1% CPU. No manual intervention or process termination was required. - **Watch For:** Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU spikes in coming shift. If spike recurs, manually SSH and run `top -b -n1` to identify root cause (runaway process or traffic anomaly) before it auto-resolves again. Consider investigating logs to determine what triggered the initial spike.

Gateway operational with no known service impact reported. - **Action for Next Shift:** Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU recurrence. If spike repeats, immediately SSH and run `top -b -n1 | head -20` + check request logs to identify root cause (runaway process vs. traffic spike) before it auto-resolves. Consider enabling detailed process logging.
