Overview

A real-time dashboard for monitoring your OpenClaw agents. View agent status, context usage, tokens, costs, and recent activity.

OpenClaw Agent Dashboard preview
The dashboard reads your local OpenClaw session files - no data is sent externally. Access it securely over Tailscale from any device.

Let Your Agent Do It

Just tell your OpenClaw agent to set everything up. Here's what to send:

Send this to your agent:

"Set up the agent dashboard for me:

  1. Clone https://github.com/morgancrozier/openclaw-agent-dashboard into ~/openclaw-agent-dashboard
  2. Run 'pnpm install'
  3. Create .env.local with OPENCLAW_DATA_PATH=~/.openclaw
  4. Update app/api/agents/route.ts to read from real OpenClaw session files (they're in ~/.openclaw/agents/*/sessions/*.jsonl). Use lib/agent-utils.ts as a starting point - make it show real agent status, context %, tokens, and recent activity.
  5. Install Tailscale if not installed, run 'tailscale up' to log in, then run 'pnpm dev'
  6. Tell me the URL to access it (use your Tailscale IP)"

That's it! Your agent will handle the clone, config, Tailscale setup, API connection, and startup.

Or Do It Yourself

Prefer to set it up manually? Here's how:

1. Clone & Install

bash
git clone https://github.com/morgancrozier/openclaw-agent-dashboard
cd openclaw-agent-dashboard
pnpm install

2. Configure

bash
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local and set:
OPENCLAW_DATA_PATH=~/.openclaw

3. Connect the API

Edit app/api/agents/route.ts to read from ~/.openclaw/agents/*/sessions/*.jsonl. Use lib/agent-utils.ts as a starting point.

4. Run

bash
pnpm dev

Visit http://localhost:3000

5. Remote Access (Tailscale)

bash
# Install Tailscale
brew install tailscale  # macOS
tailscale up

Access at http://100.x.x.x:3000 (your Tailscale IP)
