Task 11 — 2 AM Incident

How to evaluate

csot challenge start -w week-02 -t 11
# SSH in with printed host, port, password
# cd ~/incident-11 — fix the stack on the VM
csot challenge verify

Visit the printed API + dashboard URLs before SSH.

PagerDuty fires. Four services, misleading Redis logs, /health OK but /api/users returns 500, worker crash-looping.

What the grader checks

  • Stack boots (6 pts)
  • GET /api/users → 200 with count (12 pts)
  • worker stays running, not crash-looping (6 pts)

Redis errors in logs are a red herring — the worker uses Postgres.

Points: 24
