# Incident Response Runbook ## Overview This runbook provides procedures for responding to incidents in the DeFi Oracle Meta Mainnet (ChainID 138) network. ## Incident Classification ### Severity Levels - **P0 - Critical**: Network down, data loss, security breach - **P1 - High**: Service degradation, validator failures - **P2 - Medium**: Performance issues, non-critical service failures - **P3 - Low**: Minor issues, informational alerts ## Incident Response Process ### 1. Detection - Monitor alerts from Prometheus/Alertmanager - Check Grafana dashboards - Review logs in Loki - Monitor external reports ### 2. Triage - Classify severity - Identify affected components - Assess impact - Assign incident owner ### 3. Response - Follow runbook procedures - Document actions taken - Communicate with stakeholders - Escalate if needed ### 4. Resolution - Verify resolution - Document root cause - Update runbooks if needed - Conduct post-incident review ## Common Incidents ### Network Outage **Symptoms**: - No blocks being produced - Validators not responding - RPC endpoints unavailable **Response**: 1. Check validator status: `kubectl get pods -n besu-network -l component=validator` 2. Check logs: `kubectl logs -n besu-network ` 3. Check network connectivity 4. Restart validators if needed: `kubectl rollout restart statefulset/besu-validator -n besu-network` 5. Verify block production: `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' http://` ### Validator Failure **Symptoms**: - Validator pod not running - Validator not producing blocks - High error rate in logs **Response**: 1. Check pod status: `kubectl describe pod -n besu-network` 2. Check logs: `kubectl logs -n besu-network` 3. Check resource usage: `kubectl top pod -n besu-network` 4. Restart validator if needed 5. Check validator keys in Key Vault 6. Verify network connectivity ### RPC Endpoint Issues **Symptoms**: - RPC endpoints not responding - High latency - Error rates increasing **Response**: 1. Check RPC pod status: `kubectl get pods -n besu-network -l component=rpc` 2. Check Application Gateway status 3. Check rate limiting 4. Scale RPC nodes if needed: `kubectl scale statefulset/besu-rpc --replicas=5 -n besu-network` 5. Check network policies 6. Verify backend connectivity ### Oracle Update Failures **Symptoms**: - Oracle not updating - High error rate in oracle publisher - Circuit breaker open **Response**: 1. Check oracle publisher status: `kubectl get pods -n besu-network -l app=oracle-publisher` 2. Check logs: `kubectl logs -n besu-network` 3. Check circuit breaker state 4. Verify data sources 5. Check RPC connectivity 6. Verify private key access 7. Restart oracle publisher if needed ### Security Incident **Symptoms**: - Unauthorized access attempts - Unusual network traffic - Suspicious transactions **Response**: 1. Isolate affected components 2. Preserve logs and evidence 3. Notify security team 4. Review access logs 5. Check for compromised keys 6. Rotate keys if needed 7. Update security policies ## Escalation ### Escalation Path 1. **On-Call Engineer**: Initial response 2. **Team Lead**: For P1/P0 incidents 3. **Engineering Manager**: For critical incidents 4. **CTO**: For security incidents ### Communication - Update incident status in Slack/PagerDuty - Notify stakeholders via email - Post updates to status page - Conduct post-incident review ## Post-Incident Review ### Review Process 1. Document incident timeline 2. Identify root cause 3. Document lessons learned 4. Update runbooks 5. Implement improvements 6. Share findings with team ### Review Template - **Incident**: Brief description - **Timeline**: Key events and timestamps - **Root Cause**: What caused the incident - **Impact**: What was affected - **Resolution**: How it was resolved - **Lessons Learned**: What we learned - **Action Items**: What needs to be done ## Contacts - **On-Call**: Check PagerDuty - **Security Team**: security@d-bis.org - **Engineering Lead**: engineering@d-bis.org - **Emergency**: +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX ## Resources - [Monitoring Dashboards](https://grafana.d-bis.org) - [Logs](https://loki.d-bis.org) - [Alerts](https://alertmanager.d-bis.org) - [Status Page](https://status.d-bis.org)
