Root Cause Analysis

L'investigation technique démontre que le pod payment-service entre en CrashLoopBackOff suite à un dépassement de sa limite de mémoire (OOMKilled).

  1. Symptôme : AlertManager a remonté de multiples redémarrages (15 en 10 min).
  2. Preuve Kubernetes : Les événements du namespace indiquent Reason: OOMKilled sur le conteneur principal.
  3. Preuve Applicative (Logs) : Les logs précédents (previous=true) montrent une exception Java : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space lors du traitement d'un batch de facturation de taille inhabituelle.

Conclusion : La limite mémoire actuelle (512Mi) est insuffisante pour le job de facturation mensuel.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

Procédure de Remédiation (SOP)

  1. Mitigation immédiate : Augmenter temporairement les resources.limits.memory à 1Gi via kubectl :

    bash
    kubectl set resources deployment payment-service-deployment -c payment-service --limits=memory=1Gi -n prod-payment

  2. Action long terme :

    • Mettre à jour le manifeste Helm (values.yaml) pour pérenniser cette limite.
    • Optimiser la pagination du traitement batch côté code (Chunking des factures).
