+# Alerting Runbook
+
+This document is a reference to the alerts this Helm chart can fire.
+
+## Sophora Server: General
+
+### SophoraServerOffline
+
+**Severity:** medium
+
+**Summary:** The Sophora server is offline for more than 10 minutes.
+
+**Remediation steps:**
+
+* Check if the server is down for maintenance or incident remediation
+* Check whether the server is in a crash loop
+* Check the server logs for error messages
+* Try to restart the server
+
+### SophoraServerAPISlow
+
+**Severity:** medium
+
+**Summary:** The API of the server exhibits a response time exceeding 150ms for more than 5 minutes at the 95th percentile.
+
+**Remediation steps:**
+
+* Check if the server is experiencing a higher API call volume than usual (e.g. imports)
+* Check the server's logs for errors that could be related to a slower API response time
+* Check if the server has enough RAM and CPU at hand
+* If the server is a staging server, consider scaling the statefulset up to cover higher loads
+* Check if a newly added or modified server script is inefficient and adds an overhead to many API calls
+
