Linode CPU % constantly at 100
The CPU % on our DEV server shot up to 100% and has stayed there for the the last 3 days. There was 1 dip back down to below 10 (where it usualy is) but it shot right back up.
I'm wondering what I should do about this. Thanks for the assistance.

I'd recommend using top or htop to take a look at which processes are using the most CPU time on your Linode. From there, you can either restart the service in question or review the logs in /var/log to see if there's anything out of the ordinary happening. Aside from top you can use the following command to see what the CPU and I/O usage on your Linode looks like at a given point in time:
