Root Cause Analysis
Description:
At 10:15 AM on 2024-10-12, the Web-Portal service experienced a spike in response time, exceeding the SLA threshold of 150ms. The response time peaked at 230ms for a sustained period of 45 minutes, resulting in an SLA breach.
Possible Contributing Factors:
- High Traffic Volume: A surge in user traffic during the mid-morning period could have overwhelmed the web portal's server, leading to longer response times.
- Backend Database Latency: Logs indicate that the web portal experienced delays in querying the backend database, which could have caused the longer response times.
- Inefficient Caching: A review of the web portal’s cache layer shows a significant cache miss rate during the breach window, indicating that queries were being sent to the database more frequently than expected.
Recommended Immediate Actions
Priority 1: Optimize Response Time
- Scale Resources: Temporarily allocate additional compute resources to the web portal to handle the traffic surge.
- Investigate Database Performance: Work with the database administration team to investigate possible latency issues in the backend database.
- Review Caching Mechanism: Reconfigure the web portal’s caching strategy to reduce cache misses and prevent frequent database queries.
Business Impact Assessment
- Impact on User Experience: Users may have experienced slower-than-expected response times when accessing the web portal during the breach window. This could result in reduced customer satisfaction.
- Service Delivery: No significant delays were reported in the actual service delivery times.
- Risk of Further Breaches: Continued latency could lead to additional SLA breaches if the underlying causes are not addressed promptly.
Follow-Up Actions
- Root Cause Analysis Review: Perform a deeper review of the root causes identified during the breach. Ensure that caching and database performance issues are addressed.
- Traffic Forecasting: Implement traffic forecasting to better predict future surges in user traffic and dynamically scale resources.
- Formal Report to Client: Prepare and deliver a formal SLA breach report to the client within 24 hours, including detailed corrective actions.
