What This Skill Does

The ubuntu-inspector is a comprehensive diagnostic and system health auditing tool specifically engineered for Ubuntu server environments. It functions as an automated system administrator assistant, capable of performing deep-dives into system internals. By centralizing data from various low-level Linux utilities (such as df, free, ss, systemctl, and journalctl), this skill aggregates complex system metrics into a readable, actionable report. It covers vital areas including CPU load, memory utilization, disk partition health, network connectivity, active service status, and critical security events. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or troubleshooting a sudden performance degradation, this skill provides the empirical data required to make informed infrastructure decisions.

Installation

To integrate this utility into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chengchiangwork/ubuntu-inspector

Ensure that your OpenClaw agent has the necessary filesystem permissions, as the inspector requires root access to read system logs and monitor process-level data. The skill relies on standard bash-compatible environments and common Linux diagnostic binaries.

Use Cases

1. Routine Maintenance: Automated weekly or monthly audits to identify potential bottlenecks before they cause downtime.
2. Performance Troubleshooting: Identifying resource-hungry processes or memory leaks by analyzing Top 10 memory-consuming tasks.
3. Security Audits: Reviewing failed login attempts and analyzing user activity to detect unauthorized access patterns.
4. Pre-Deployment Readiness: Validating system capacity (CPU, Disk, Memory) prior to deploying new applications or services.
5. Post-Incident Reporting: Generating a snapshot of system state after a crash to facilitate faster post-mortem analysis.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a full system inspection and let me know if there are any critical disk space or memory warnings."
2. "Perform a security audit on this server and list the last 10 failed login attempts."
3. "Check the current health of the server and identify the top memory-consuming processes."

Tips & Limitations

• Permissions: This tool achieves maximum efficacy when executed with root privileges. Running it as a standard user may result in incomplete reports, specifically regarding logs and security audits.
• Report Storage: Reports are generated in the /tmp directory. Please note that these files are volatile and will be purged upon system reboot. If you need to retain data for historical tracking, consider moving the files to persistent storage.
• Dependencies: The skill requires basic Linux monitoring tools. Ensure lsb-release and standard systemd utilities are installed for full functionality.
• Thresholds: The script is hardcoded with a 80% disk usage warning; be aware of this when managing large data volumes.
