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.
