#49 high infra_monitor
Infra Monitor: CPU utilization critically high at 93.5%, escalating rapidly.
Host: claw-gateway1 CPU usage has reached 93.5% and is trending sharply upward (+71.3% over the last 5 readings), crossing the critical threshold of 95% imminent. All other metrics remain healthy: memory at 42.4%, disk usage well below capacity, and process count normal at 144. Immediate investigation required to identify the source of CPU load escalation. CPU: 93.5% | Memory: 42.4% Anomalies: CPU usage at 93.5% — approaching critical red threshold of 95%, CPU trending sharply upward (+71.3% over last 5 readings) — indicates acceleration, not stabilization

Severity

HIGH: Single gateway (claw-gateway1) at 93.5% CPU, trending toward 95% hard limit; service degradation imminent, blast radius limited to gateway traffic.

Root Cause

  • Runaway process consuming CPU (identify via top/ps aux --sort=-%cpu)
  • Service deployment or configuration change on claw-gateway1 within last 15min

Actions

  1. SSH to claw-gateway1 and run top -b -n1 | head -20 to identify top CPU consumer immediately.
  2. If single process >80% CPU: kill/restart it; if multiple: check recent deployments in last 15min.
  3. Monitor CPU drop; if still >90% after action 2, drain traffic from claw-gateway1 and escalate.
  4. Confirm no memory leak (Memory stable at 42.4%) and disk I/O not contributing.
  5. Post-incident: check if process restart was sufficient or if code/config rollback needed.

Watch

  • CPU trend: must drop below 85% within 3min of action, else escalate.
  • Process list stability: verify culprit process doesn't respawn repeatedly.

Escalate If

CPU reaches 95% OR remains >90% after process remediation within 5 minutes.

No manual intervention was required. - **Root Cause (Suspected)**: Runaway process or recent service deployment/configuration change on claw-gateway1 within 15 minutes prior to spike—specific process not identified before auto-recovery. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 CPU trending closely; if spike recurs, SSH in immediately and run `top -b -n1 | head -20` to identify the culprit process. Check recent deployments and service logs for anomalies.

No manual intervention was required. - **Watch For**: Monitor claw-gateway1 for CPU creep or similar spikes over the next 4-6 hours. Identify root cause of runaway process (check recent deployments/config changes within 15min prior to 00:03 UTC). - **Next Steps**: Review logs on claw-gateway1 to determine which process caused the spike and whether it's a recurring issue or one-time event. Consider adding process-level CPU alerting if not already in place.
