Scheduled Job Runner — incident runbook

Runbook hubMawrooth console

Scheduled Job Runner is monitored by Job run monitor on scheduled job failure rate. It is owned by SRE and serves the business services listed below. Use this runbook when an alert fires on this component.

Warning at scheduled job failure rate ≥ 3%, critical at ≥ 10%. Critical means user-visible impact: page the escalation owner.

Signals & thresholds

  • Primary metric: scheduled job failure rate (%)
  • Warning threshold: ≥ 3%
  • Critical threshold: ≥ 10%
  • Dashboard: sim://grafana/mw-jobs
  • Log source: sim://logs/mw-jobs
  • SLA: 99.5% monthly availability
  • SLO: 99.9% of requests under warning threshold
  • External dependencies: Lovable Cloud Runtime / Internet / DNS-TLS, Supabase PostgreSQL / APIs / Realtime

1. Detection

  1. Job run monitor reports scheduled job failure rate above the warning threshold.
  2. Error volume for this component rises in the log source and error reports.

2. Triage

  1. Group recent errors in sim://logs/mw-jobs by message and pick the dominant class.
  2. Determine whether errors are user-input related, permission related or infrastructure related.
  3. Check whether the failure is confined to one tenant, one flow or one release.
  4. Confirm whether upstream dependencies are healthy before treating this as a local defect.

3. Mitigation

  1. If a recent release correlates, roll it back.
  2. Disable the specific failing feature path with the feature flag if one exists.
  3. Queue and retry failed operations instead of discarding them.
  4. Communicate the affected flow to operators with a manual workaround where possible.

4. Verification

  1. Confirm scheduled job failure rate has been below the warning threshold for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Confirm the affected business services are healthy on the dashboard.
  3. Confirm no alerts remain open for this component and its downstream consumers.
  4. Spot-check one real end-to-end operation through the affected flow.

5. Rollback / restore

  1. If a deploy caused the incident, roll back to the previous release and re-verify.
  2. If a configuration or threshold change caused it, restore the previous value and record why.
  3. Re-enable any job, feature flag or channel that was paused during mitigation, one at a time.

Escalation path

  • First responder: NOC on duty — acknowledge within 5 minutes.
  • Component owner: SRE.
  • Escalation owner (page on critical): SRE On-Call.
  • Escalate if the metric is still critical 15 minutes after mitigation, or if data integrity is in doubt.
  • Declare a major incident if two or more critical components are alerting at the same time.
