Monitoring & Health Signals
You can't fix what you can't see.
What You Should Monitor
- Process health
- Task failures
- Error rates
- Execution latency
- Queue backlogs (if any)
Basic Health Check Patterns
Is the process alive?
OpenClaw daemon or service is running
Are tasks completing?
Tasks finish within expected timeframes
Are errors increasing?
Error rate stays within acceptable bounds
Has output stopped unexpectedly?
No unexpected stalls in activity
