system_monitor
Check the current CPU, RAM, and GPU status of the local server.
Why use this skill?
Monitor your server's CPU, RAM, and GPU status directly through OpenClaw. Instantly check system health and resource usage with the system_monitor skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/zerofire03/system-monitorWhat This Skill Does
The system_monitor skill provides a direct interface for OpenClaw to probe the local server's hardware performance. By executing a specialized local script, this skill retrieves real-time diagnostics regarding CPU load percentages, volatile memory (RAM) allocation, and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) utilization metrics. It serves as a dashboard for your server infrastructure, allowing you to ascertain whether your machine is idling, operating at peak capacity, or experiencing resource bottlenecks. This is essential for maintaining the stability of long-running agent tasks.
Installation
To integrate the system_monitor skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw CLI properly configured, then execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/zerofire03/system-monitor
This command will fetch the source repository from the official library and register the ./monitor.sh script as a callable function within the agent's execution context. Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to execute the script in its directory.
Use Cases
This skill is indispensable for power users and developers hosting OpenClaw on private hardware or cloud instances. Common scenarios include:
- Troubleshooting sluggish agent responses to determine if background processes are hogging system resources.
- Monitoring hardware heat dissipation during heavy AI model inference tasks.
- Verifying that GPU acceleration is correctly engaged when running compute-heavy operations.
- Performing routine health checks on remote headless servers to ensure system uptime.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current system health and let me know if my GPU is overheating."
- "How much RAM is currently being used on the server?"
- "Run a system check and tell me if the CPU load is high enough to slow down my tasks."
Tips & Limitations
- The accuracy of this skill depends on the underlying './monitor.sh' script's capability to read system sensors. If your OS lacks specific drivers (like NVIDIA-SMI for GPUs), the GPU metrics might return null or zero values.
- It is best to use this skill periodically rather than in a continuous loop to avoid unnecessary resource consumption during intensive tasks.
- Ensure the monitor script remains executable (
chmod +x monitor.sh) after updates to prevent execution errors.
