How do I monitor OpenClaw agent health?
Definitive Answer
FetchOpenClaws Health Monitor tracks uptime, response latency, error rates, and resource usage in real time. Configure alert thresholds, set up multi-channel notifications (Slack, email, Discord), and use the performance analyzer to identify bottlenecks before they impact users.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Enable health monitoring on your deployed agent — it activates automatically on FetchOpenClaws.
- 2Set alert thresholds: recommend error rate > 5%, latency p95 > 2s, and uptime < 99.9%.
- 3Configure notification channels: Slack for real-time alerts, email for summaries.
- 4Enable the performance analyzer to profile response times and identify slow skills.
- 5Set up a public status page if your agent serves external users who need uptime visibility.
- 6Review weekly performance reports and adjust alert thresholds based on baseline patterns.
Example Prompt
Set up comprehensive monitoring for my OpenClaw agent with: 30-second health checks, latency alerts at p95 > 2s, error rate alerts at > 3%, Slack notifications for critical issues, and weekly email summaries.
Common Pitfalls
- Setting alert thresholds too tight, causing alert fatigue from false positives
- Setting thresholds too loose, missing real issues until users complain
- Only monitoring uptime without tracking latency and error rates
- Not setting up an escalation path for critical alerts that happen outside business hours
