Fleet Management

Fleet Management 🚀

Fleet data: ~/openclaw-fleet/*.md — one file per remote server. The master has no fleet file — it's the source of truth.

Interpret intent naturally. Adapt to what's asked. Sometimes that's a quick health check, sometimes a full assessment, sometimes pushing an update.

After meaningful updates (new skills, new workflows), offer to notify the admin (if specified in fleet file). Draft something friendly and contextual. Routine maintenance doesn't need notifications.

When sending notifications to admin: Send from the agent's identity (from IDENTITY.md on that machine), NOT from the user's personal account. The admin should see messages from "Bob Steel" or "Cora", not from Gil or Julianna. Use the agent identity as the sender when crafting messages.

Escalate to the fleet owner when things break that were working. Don't escalate routine success or expected states.

openclaw models list | grep -w missing

If ANY configured model shows missing, the update changed the model catalog and broke those model IDs. Fix them immediately — don't continue to other machines until resolved.

To find the correct current model ID:

openclaw models list --all | grep -i anthropic

Update the model IDs in:

1. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json → agents.defaults.models keys and agents.defaults.model.fallbacks
2. Any cron jobs with model overrides → openclaw cron edit <id> --model <new-id>
3. Restart gateway → openclaw gateway restart
4. Verify gateway is back → openclaw health should respond within 30s
5. Re-verify models → openclaw models list | grep -w missing should produce no output
6. Re-verify cron jobs → openclaw cron list should show no jobs with status error

If cron jobs still show errors after model fixes, check their payload model overrides — the global config fix doesn't update cron job-level model overrides.

This is not optional. Model ID formats change between OpenClaw versions (e.g. hyphens to dots). Broken model IDs cause silent cron failures that only surface hours later.
