Script Location

~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py

Two Running Modes

Mode 1: Cron Scheduled Sync (Default)

OpenClaw's built-in cron executes the script periodically:

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py

Trigger phrases: say "sync status", "restart sync" or "同步状态", "重启同步状态" — OpenClaw will trigger execution on schedule.

Mode 2: Daemon Mode

Use --fork to start a real background daemon:

Examples:

# Start daemon
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py start --fork

# Start with 10-minute interval
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py start --fork --interval 10

Trigger Conditions

Triggers when any of the following conditions are met:

1. First-time initialization: say "enable status monitor", "setup status-monitor" or "启用状态监控", "开启监控同步", "配置 status-monitor"
2. Manual trigger: say "sync status", "sync status-monitor", "upload status" or "同步状态", "同步 status-monitor", "上传状态" → single execution
3. Scheduled sync: OpenClaw cron triggers → single execution
4. Check status: say "check status monitor", "monitor status", "check upload service" or "查看状态监控", "状态监控状态", "检查上传服务"
5. Stop service: say "stop status monitor", "stop upload service" or "停止状态监控", "停止上传服务"
6. Change interval: say "sync every 10 minutes", "change to 15 minutes" or "每10分钟同步一次", "改成15分钟"
7. Daemon mode: say "start status monitor", "start daemon", "run in background" or "启动状态监控", "启动守护进程", "后台运行" → execute start --fork

Additional triggers: say "start status-monitor service", "restart status-monitor service" or "启动status-monitor服务", "重启status-monitor服务".

Initialization Flow (Must Execute on First Use)

Step 1: Check Token Configuration

When the skill runs, first check for the token in these locations:

1. Environment variable MONITOR_PLATFORM_TOKEN
2. File ~/.openclaw/credentials/openclaw-status-monitor.json

Step 2: Handling Missing Token

If no token is found, guide the user to register/login:

1. Prompt the user:

   No monitoring token found. Let me help you set up...
   
   Please choose a sign-in method:
   1. Existing user: visit https://openclaw-agent-monitor.vercel.app and click Sign In
   2. New user: visit https://openclaw-agent-monitor.vercel.app and click Sign Up
   
   After signing in:
   - Go to the Settings page
   - Generate and copy your Agent Token
   - Send me the generated token
   

2. Wait for user to reply with token

3. Save the token:

   • Create directory ~/.openclaw/credentials/
   • Save to ~/.openclaw/credentials/openclaw-status-monitor.json:

     {
       "agentToken": "user-provided-token",
       "createdAt": "2026-03-29T10:00:00.000Z",
       "monitorUrl": "https://openclaw-agent-monitor.vercel.app"
     }
     

4. Validate the token

Step 3: After Successful Token Validation

✅ Token configured successfully!

Starting upload service...
- Running initial sync test...
- ✅ Service started successfully!

Monitor platform: https://openclaw-agent-monitor.vercel.app
Upload interval: 5 minutes

Start command:
python3 scripts/status_uploader.py start --fork

Management commands:
- Say "sync status" to manually trigger an upload
- Say "check status monitor" to check service status
- Say "stop status monitor" to stop the service
- Say "restart status monitor" to restart the service

Core Functions: Managing the Upload Script

1. Check if Script Exists

if [ -f ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py ]; then
  echo "Script exists"
else
  echo "Script not found"
fi

2. Start Service (Recommended)

# Start daemon with --fork (recommended)
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py start --fork --interval 10

3. Set Sync Interval

# Method 1: specify at startup
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py start --fork --interval 15

# Method 2: use set-interval command
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py set-interval 15

4. Stop Service

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py stop

5. Check Service Status

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py status

6. View Error Logs

~/.openclaw/logs/status_uploader_error.log
~/.openclaw/logs/status_uploader.log

# View recent errors
tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/status_uploader_error.log

# View service logs
tail -50 ~/.openclaw/logs/status_uploader.log

Log rotation: log files auto-rotate when exceeding 10MB, format: status_uploader.20260329_183500.log

7. Manually Trigger One Upload

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/openclaw-status-monitor/scripts/status_uploader.py test

Upload Logic (Simplified)

The script only reads all agent IDs from openclaw.json and uploads them — it does not perform any offline detection.

Offline detection is handled by the monitoring platform (openclaw-agent-monitor):

• The platform automatically updates lastActiveTimestamp based on upload time
• If no upload is received for 5+ minutes, the platform automatically marks the agent as offline
