I'd be especially interested in seeing some operational issues

* One of my servers has a process that has jumped to 100% CPU. How do  
I find out what's going on?
* One of my gen_servers is in a restart loop. How can I trace it and  
find out why?
* The mnesia server has too much I/O load, so we want to add another  
fragment node. How do I do it?

etc
