--- title: Handling Downtime icon: turn-down ---  ## 📋 What You Need Before Starting Make sure these are ready: - **[Incident.io Setup](../playbooks/setup-incident-io)**: For managing incidents. - **Grafana & Loki**: For checking logs and errors. - **Checkly Debugging**: For testing and monitoring. --- ## 🚨 Stay Calm and Take Action <Warning> Don’t panic! Follow these steps to fix the issue. </Warning> 1. **Tell Your Users**: - Let your users know there’s an issue. Post on [Community](https://community.activepieces.com) and Discord. - Example message: *“We’re looking into a problem with our services. Thanks for your patience!”* 2. **Find Out What’s Wrong**: - Gather details. What’s not working? When did it start? 3. **Update the Status Page**: - Use [Incident.io](https://incident.io) to update the status page. Set it to *“Investigating”* or *“Partial Outage”*. --- ## 🔍 Check for Infrastructure Problems 1. **Look at DigitalOcean**: - Check if the CPU, memory, or disk usage is too high. - If it is: - **Increase the machine size** temporarily to fix the issue. - Keep looking for the root cause. --- ## 📜 Check Logs and Errors 1. **Use Grafana & Loki**: - Search for recent errors in the logs. - Look for anything unusual or repeating. 2. **Check Sentry**: - Look for grouped errors (errors that happen a lot). - Try to **reproduce the error** and fix it if possible. --- ## 🛠️ Debugging with Checkly 1. **Check Checkly Logs**: - Watch the **video recordings** of failed checks to see what went wrong. - If the issue is a **timeout**, it might mean there’s a bigger performance problem. - If it's an E2E test failure due to UI changes, it's likely not urgent. - Fix the test and the issue will go away. --- ## 🚨 When Should You Ask for Help? Ask for help right away if: - Flows are failing. - The whole platform is down. - There's a lot of data loss or corruption. - You're not sure what is causing the issue. - You've spent **more than 5 minutes** and still don't know what's wrong. 💡 **How to Ask for Help**: - Use **Incident.io** to create a **critical alert**. - Go to the **Slack incident channel** and escalate the issue to the engineering team. <Warning> If you’re unsure, **ask for help!** It’s better to be safe than sorry. </Warning> --- ## 💡 Helpful Tips 1. **Stay Organized**: - Keep a list of steps to follow during downtime. - Write down everything you do so you can refer to it later. 2. **Communicate Clearly**: - Keep your team and users updated. - Use simple language in your updates. 3. **Take Care of Yourself**: - If you feel stressed, take a short break. Grab a coffee ☕, take a deep breath, and tackle the problem step by step.
