The Problem

You install OpenClaw, configure it, and let it run in the background. But how do you actually know it's working?

There's no built-in status page. No heartbeat alerts. No way to see if it's processing tasks or just sitting idle.

The Solution

I built a simple, self-hostable monitoring dashboard for OpenClaw agents:

šŸ”— OpenClaw Monitor on GitHub

Tech Stack:

  • Frontend: Vue 3 (Composition API) + Element Plus + Vite
  • Backend: Express + SQLite (sql.js)
  • Auth: JWT
  • i18n: Chinese + English

Features

  • šŸ’“ Heartbeat Detection ā€” Knows immediately when your agent goes down
  • šŸŒ Gateway Management ā€” Manage multiple gateway configs from one UI
  • šŸ“Š Real-time Status ā€” Live view of agent operations
  • šŸ” JWT Authentication ā€” Secure access for your monitoring layer
  • šŸŒ i18n ā€” Switch between EN/CN
  • šŸ“± Responsive ā€” Works on desktop and mobile

OpenClaw Monitor Dashboard

Quick Start 

git clone https://github.com/flik2002/openclaw-monitor-frontend.git
cd openclaw-monitor-frontend
npm install
npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why "AI Monitoring AI"?

OpenClaw is fantastic at automating tasks. But in production, you need observability ā€” the same as any other service. This is a small step toward treating AI agents like real infrastructure.

Contributing

Still early stage. Issues, stars, and PRs all welcome.
