Run Book: API Production Average Response Time above threshold#
Severity Guide#
To identify the source of the slowdown first check if there was a recent deployment that may have introduced the problem, in that case rollback to the previous version. Otherwise, check the following, in order:
Request count and general network activity. If abnormally high, refer to the traffic analysis run book to identify whether there is malicious traffic. If not, move on.
Check if dependencies like Elasticsearch or the database are constrained. If stable, move on.
Parse query parameters from Nginx logs and check pagination and parameter count activity for abnormal or unexpected behaviour. If any exist, decide whether it is malicious or expected.
