Openclaw Skill Observability
Skill by erain
Why use this skill?
Track API usage costs and identify recent session errors in OpenClaw with the Observability skill. Ensure your AI agent remains cost-effective and reliable.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/erain/openclaw-skill-observabilityWhat This Skill Does
The Openclaw Skill Observability provides a robust suite of diagnostic tools designed to give developers and users deep visibility into their OpenClaw AI agent operations. As agents scale, managing costs and debugging execution failures becomes critical. This skill bridges the gap between raw execution data and actionable insights by aggregating usage metrics and error logs directly within your terminal or interface. Whether you are optimizing your API spend or investigating why a specific task failed, this tool acts as your central dashboard for monitoring health and performance.
Installation
To integrate the Observability skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/erain/openclaw-skill-observability
Ensure that your OpenClaw installation is up to date before installing to avoid dependency conflicts.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for teams and individual developers who need to:
- Audit daily API consumption to prevent overspending on model usage.
- Quickly identify patterns in agent failures, such as specific prompts or tools consistently causing timeouts or errors.
- Conduct post-mortem analysis on aborted sessions to improve agent reliability and logic.
- Regularly report on system health to stakeholders during the development lifecycle.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current cost report for the last 24 hours to see which models are driving up my usage."
- "Show me the last 50 sessions; are there any recent errors or aborted tasks I should look into?"
- "Summarize the performance of my agent—is it running into frequent errors or is it stable?"
Tips & Limitations
- The cost report is based on estimations; exact billing figures should always be verified against your provider's official dashboard.
- The 'get_recent_errors' tool is limited to the last 50 sessions; if you require long-term auditing, consider logging outputs to an external database.
- Run the observability checks at least once a day to ensure you catch spikes in costs before they accumulate. If you notice a high number of errors, review your agent's system prompt or tool configuration for potential bugs.
