Note: 21 GiB of swap in use despite 206 GiB available RAM suggests processes were swapped out over the 37-day uptime and not yet paged back in. Consider a targeted swapoff -a && swapon -a cycle during a maintenance window if swap pressure becomes a concern.

Uptime37 days

With 128 logical threads, a load average of ~20 represents approximately 16% CPU utilization. The steady load across all three windows indicates consistent background workload, likely from K3s cluster operations and running pods.

Top Processes by Resource Usage

At the time of audit, the primary consumers are:

  • K3s server and agent processes -- Kubernetes control plane and kubelet
  • containerd -- Container runtime for all K3s pods
  • cloudflared -- Cloudflare tunnel daemon
  • AlertManager -- At 203% CPU (known issue, see Current Issues)
  • VNC server -- In restart loop consuming resources (known issue)

Peripheral Notes

  • Storage: NVMe primary (3.1T), SMB network share (88T), NFS mounts (currently down)
  • Network: Dual-stack networking with Cloudflare tunnel, Tailscale mesh, and direct SSH
  • The system runs in a DEGRADED systemd state due to failed motd-news and wol-enable services (non-critical)
