4. Troubleshooting Playbooks
Purpose: Reference | Difficulty: Intermediate | File: docs/operations/troubleshooting-playbooks.md
Systematic procedures for diagnosing and resolving common issues.
Playbook Structure
Each playbook follows:
- Symptoms - How to recognize the problem
- Diagnosis - Steps to identify root cause
- Resolution - How to fix the issue
- Prevention - How to avoid recurrence
Service Unavailable Playbook
Symptoms:
- HTTP 503 responses
- Health check failures
- No response from endpoints
Diagnosis:
# Check service status
docker compose ps
kubectl get pods -n octollm
# Check logs
docker compose logs --tail=100 orchestrator
kubectl logs <pod-name> -n octollm
# Check resource usage
docker stats
kubectl top pods -n octollm
Resolution:
# Restart service
docker compose restart orchestrator
kubectl delete pod <pod-name> -n octollm
# Scale up if needed
kubectl scale deployment orchestrator --replicas=3 -n octollm
High Latency Playbook
Diagnosis:
# Check P95 latency
curl -G 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query' \
--data-urlencode 'query=histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))'
# Identify slow endpoints
docker compose logs orchestrator | grep "duration"
# Check database performance
docker compose exec postgres psql -U octollm -c "
SELECT query, mean_exec_time, calls
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC
LIMIT 10;"
Resolution:
# Add missing indexes
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_tasks_status_created
ON tasks(status, created_at DESC);
# Optimize queries
ANALYZE tasks;
VACUUM ANALYZE;
Database Connection Issues
Diagnosis:
# Check connections
docker compose exec postgres psql -U octollm -c "
SELECT count(*) as current_connections
FROM pg_stat_activity;"
# Test connectivity
docker compose exec orchestrator nc -zv postgres 5432
Resolution:
# Increase connection pool
engine = create_async_engine(
DATABASE_URL,
pool_size=20,
max_overflow=40,
pool_pre_ping=True
)
Memory Leak Playbook
Diagnosis:
# Profile memory
from memory_profiler import profile
@profile
async def process_task(task_id: str):
# Function code
pass
Resolution:
# Use TTL cache instead of unbounded
from cachetools import TTLCache
cache = TTLCache(maxsize=10000, ttl=3600)
# Always close connections
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
await client.get("http://example.com")
Common Issues Covered
- Service Unavailable
- High Latency
- Database Connection Issues
- Memory Leaks
- Task Routing Failures
- LLM API Failures

- Data Corruption
5. Performance Tuning Guide
Time: 2-4 hours | Difficulty: Advanced | File: docs/operations/performance-tuning.md
Systematic optimization across database, application, cache, and network layers.
Performance Targets
| Metric | Target | Acceptable | Critical |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Latency (P95) | < 500ms | < 1s | > 2s |
| Task Throughput | > 100/min | > 50/min | < 25/min |
| Database Query | < 10ms | < 50ms | > 100ms |
| Cache Hit Rate | > 80% | > 60% | < 40% |
| CPU Usage | < 60% | < 80% | > 90% |
Database Optimization
-- Add strategic indexes
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_tasks_status_created
ON tasks(status, created_at DESC);
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_entities_type_name
ON entities(entity_type, name);
-- GIN index for full-text search
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_entities_name_gin
ON entities USING GIN(to_tsvector('english', name));
-- Optimize queries
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)
SELECT * FROM tasks
WHERE status = 'pending'
ORDER BY priority DESC
LIMIT 10;
-- Connection pooling
engine = create_async_engine(
DATABASE_URL,
pool_size=20,
max_overflow=40,
pool_pre_ping=True,
pool_recycle=3600
)
Application Tuning
# Concurrent operations (not sequential)
task, capabilities, context = await asyncio.gather(
db.get_task(task_id),
db.get_arm_capabilities(),
memory.get_context(task_id)
)
# Batch requests
async def get_entities(entity_ids: List[str]):
query = select(Entity).where(Entity.entity_id.in_(entity_ids))
return await db.execute(query)
# Response compression
from fastapi.middleware.gzip import GZipMiddleware
app.add_middleware(GZipMiddleware, minimum_size=1000)
Cache Optimization
# Multi-level caching
class MultiLevelCache:
def __init__(self, redis_client):
self.l1_cache = TTLCache(maxsize=1000, ttl=60) # In-memory
self.l2_cache = redis_client # Redis
async def get(self, key: str):
# Try L1 (fast)
if key in self.l1_cache:
return self.l1_cache[key]
# Try L2 (slower but shared)
cached = await self.l2_cache.get(key)
if cached:
value = json.loads(cached)
self.l1_cache[key] = value # Promote to L1
return value
return None
LLM API Optimization
# Request batching
class LLMBatcher:
async def add_request(self, prompt: str) -> str:
# Batch multiple prompts into single API call
batch = self.collect_batch()
combined = "\n---\n".join(batch)
response = await llm_client.generate(combined)
return parse_response(response)
# Response streaming
async def stream_llm_response(prompt: str):
async with client.stream("POST", url, json=data) as response:
async for chunk in response.aiter_bytes():
yield chunk
# Model selection
def select_model(task: Task) -> str:
if task.complexity == "simple":
return "gpt-3.5-turbo" # Cheaper, faster
return "gpt-4" # Advanced reasoning
Load Testing
// load-tests/baseline.js
import http from 'k6/http';
export let options = {
stages: [
{ duration: '2m', target: 10 },
{ duration: '5m', target: 50 },
{ duration: '2m', target: 0 },
],
thresholds: {
http_req_duration: ['p(95)<1000'],
http_req_failed: ['rate<0.01'],
},
};
export default function() {
let res = http.post('http://localhost:8000/api/v1/tasks', payload);
check(res, {
'status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
'latency < 1s': (r) => r.timings.duration < 1000,
});
}
Resource Allocation
# Kubernetes: Optimize CPU/memory
resources:
requests:
cpu: 1000m
memory: 2Gi

profiler = cProfile.Profile()
profiler.enable()
await process_task(task_id)
profiler.disable()
# Memory profiling
from memory_profiler import profile
@profile
async def memory_intensive_function():
pass

- Diagnose - Follow relevant playbook
- Resolve - Apply fix and verify
- Document - Update runbook with findings
Example: Service Down Incident
# 1. Check alert details
curl http://localhost:9093/api/v2/alerts
# 2. Identify affected service
kubectl get pods -n octollm
docker compose ps
# 3. Check logs

docker compose restart orchestrator
# 6. Verify
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# 7. Document
# Update troubleshooting playbook with findings
Performance Tuning Workflow
Systematic Optimization Process
- Baseline - Establish current performance metrics
- Profile - Identify bottlenecks
- Optimize - Apply targeted improvements
- Test - Verify improvements with load tests
- Monitor - Track metrics over time
- Iterate - Repeat process
Example: Reducing API Latency
# 1. Measure baseline
k6 run load-tests/baseline.js
# Note: P95 = 2.5s (target: < 1s)
# 2. Profile application
python -m cProfile orchestrator/app/main.py
# 3. Identify slow database queries
docker compose exec postgres psql -U octollm -c "
SELECT query, mean_exec_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC
LIMIT 10;"
# 4. Add indexes
docker compose exec postgres psql -U octollm -c "
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_tasks_status
ON tasks(status);"
# 5. Test improvement
k6 run load-tests/baseline.js
# Note: P95 = 1.2s (better, but not at target)
# 6. Implement caching
# Add multi-level cache for frequently accessed data
# 7. Retest
k6 run load-tests/baseline.js
# Note: P95 = 450ms (✓ target achieved)
# 8. Monitor over time
# Check Grafana dashboard for sustained performance
