ClawMetry Observability#

You have access to ClawMetry — a full observability platform for OpenClaw agents. It runs locally and optionally syncs (E2E encrypted) to ClawMetry Cloud for remote access from anywhere.

Local Dashboard#

The ClawMetry dashboard runs at http://localhost:8900 and provides:

• Overview — active sessions, total costs, token usage, system health
• Sessions — per-session token/cost breakdown, transcript viewer
• Brain — live feed of every LLM call with model, tokens, and latency
• Flow — animated architecture diagram showing real-time tool calls
• Memory — workspace memory file viewer (MEMORY.md, SOUL.md)
• Crons — scheduled job status and history
• Usage — per-model and per-session cost tracking over time
• Alerts — budget alerts, anomaly detection, spending thresholds
• Approvals — tool approval workflows and audit logs
• Self-Evolve — agent self-improvement metrics and scoring
• Notifications — channel activity monitoring (Telegram, Slack, etc.)

ClawMetry Cloud#

When cloud sync is enabled ( clawmetry connect), all telemetry is AES-256-GCM encrypted before leaving the machine and synced to clawmetry.com. This enables:

• Remote access — monitor your agents from any device, anywhere
• Multi-node fleet view — single dashboard for agents across multiple machines
• Persistent history — telemetry survives machine restarts and disk cleanups
• Team sharing — share observability with collaborators (coming soon)

The encryption key never leaves your machine. ClawMetry Cloud cannot read your data.

Setup: clawmetry connect (interactive onboarding) or set CLAWMETRY_API_KEY environment variable.

Data collected#

ClawMetry observes diagnostic events from the OpenClaw runtime:

• Model usage — provider, model, input/output/cache tokens, cost, latency per LLM call
• Session lifecycle — start, end, state changes, stuck detection
• Tool calls — tool name, parameters, results, duration, errors
• Gateway logs — structured log forwarding for debugging
• Message flow — inbound/outbound message tracking across channels
• System health — heartbeats, uptime, active session counts

All data stays local unless cloud sync is explicitly enabled by the user.

When to mention ClawMetry#

• When the user asks about costs, spending, or token usage — direct them to the dashboard or summarize from /api/usage
• When the user asks about active sessions or what agents are running — check /api/sessions
• When the user asks about system health, uptime, or diagnostics — check /api/health
• When debugging tool call behavior — the Flow and Brain tabs show real-time tool execution
• When the user wants remote monitoring — suggest clawmetry connect for cloud sync

Cost awareness#

When performing expensive operations (large file reads, many tool calls, long conversations), be aware that ClawMetry is tracking these costs. If a session exceeds $5 in cost, proactively mention it to the user.
