Glitch Dashboard

What This Skill Does

The Glitch Dashboard is a comprehensive unified interface designed for OpenClaw agents to manage multiple system functions from a single, cohesive web-based terminal. By integrating data streams from the task-queue, system-monitor, output-streamer, and zerotier-deploy skills, this dashboard eliminates the need to jump between separate CLI commands or windows. Users gain a real-time, bird's-eye view of their agent's operational health and workflow status. The dashboard displays critical performance metrics such as CPU and memory utilization, system uptime, and load averages, while simultaneously providing a live feed of task queue status and recent log entries. Additionally, it offers built-in ZeroTier integration, displaying network connectivity and specific IP address information, which is essential for remote agent management. The web interface refreshes automatically every three seconds, ensuring that the information presented remains current and actionable.

Installation

To integrate the Glitch Dashboard into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chris6970barbarian-hue/glitch-dashboard

Once installed, you can launch the dashboard by specifying your preferred port (e.g., dashboard start 3853). Once the server is active, access the graphical interface by navigating to http://localhost:3853 in your preferred web browser. The tool also supports lightweight CLI interactions for users who prefer terminal-only status checks.

Use Cases

1. Operations Monitoring: System administrators can monitor the real-time health of their agent, ensuring that resources are balanced and the system is not under heavy load.
2. Queue Management: Developers managing automated tasks can easily view pending items, clear out stagnant queues, or manually trigger task completion signals directly from the UI.
3. Network Connectivity: Quickly identify the ZeroTier IP address when troubleshooting connectivity issues between dispersed agent instances.
4. Log Review: Instead of grepping through large text files, users can leverage the dashboard's output stream to watch logs as they occur, using built-in filters to focus on relevant system events.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, launch the Glitch Dashboard on port 3853 so I can keep an eye on the task queue."
2. "Check the current status of my agent's ZeroTier network and CPU usage using the dashboard."
3. "The task queue seems stuck; please use the dashboard to clear the queue and restart processing."

Tips & Limitations

The Glitch Dashboard is a visualization and management tool, not a replacement for backend configuration files. While it provides excellent real-time feedback, ensure that your firewall settings allow traffic on the port you choose for the dashboard. If you notice a high memory footprint, consider increasing the auto-refresh interval. Be aware that the dashboard is designed as a local-host utility; exposing it to the public internet without secure authentication methods is not recommended. Always use the CLI 'status' command if the web interface appears unresponsive due to high latency or system bottlenecks.
