Open source observability for OpenClaw agents — real-time observability, cost guardrails, and autonomous issue resolution
Your AI agents spawn sub-agents, burn tokens, call tools, and sometimes get stuck in loops or blow through API credits. ClaWatch doesn't just show you what's happening — it steps in. Set cost thresholds that auto-pause runaway agents. Get intelligent alerts that explain why something broke. Let the auto-fixer resolve common failures before you even wake up.
Visibility is table stakes. ClaWatch gives you control and autonomy — so your agents run reliably while you sleep.
Built for teams shipping AI products. Open source. Free forever.
|
Set daily or monthly spend limits per agent. When a threshold is hit, ClaWatch auto-pauses the agent before it drains your credits — no human in the loop required. |
Stuck in a loop? Crashed mid-task? ClaWatch detects common failure patterns and auto-resolves them — restart agents, kill runaway sessions, and recover gracefully. |
|
Pause, resume, or stop agents directly from the dashboard or your phone. One click, instant effect — even at 3 AM from your bed. |
Not just "agent crashed." ClaWatch tells you what failed, why it happened, and what it did about it. Telegram, Slack, or webhook — your choice. |
|
Group sessions into projects for a bird's-eye view. See cost, timeline, and agent breakdown across related work. Interactive charts with zoom. |
Monitor multiple OpenClaw installations from one dashboard. Switch profiles instantly — dev, staging, production. |
npm install -g clawatchclawatch startThat's it! ClaWatch auto-detects your OpenClaw agents and opens the dashboard at http://localhost:3001.
