# Mission Control ## Overview Single-command health aggregator for autonomous AI infrastructure. Replaces checking 5+ separate tools by collecting agent status, resource health, cron jobs, and service state into one report. Designed for operators running autonomous agents (OpenClaw daemons, AOMS, VPS workers) who need a fast answer to "is everything OK?" ## Core Rules - Read-only by default. Only `restart` mutates state and requires confirmation. - Prefer `--json` output when piping to other tools or storing results. - Do not invent OpenClaw CLI flags. Use only documented commands. - When the user asks "what's running?" or "system status" - run `mctl status` for the full picture. ## Commands ### Full Status (default) ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh status ``` Returns: agents, resources (CPU/RAM/disk/GPU), cron jobs, services, OpenClaw status. ### Agent List ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh agents ``` Detects running processes matching: openclaw daemon, openclaw gateway, and any process with "agent", "daemon", "worker", or "aoms" in its name. Shows PID and uptime. ### Resource Health ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh health ``` CPU count, load average, RAM usage, disk usage, NVIDIA GPU (if present). Color-coded thresholds: - Green: <60% usage - Yellow: 60-80% - Red: >80% ### Cron Jobs ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh cron ``` Lists OpenClaw cron jobs via `openclaw cron list`. ### Services ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh services ``` Checks systemd status for `openclaw-gateway` and `openclaw-daemon`. Also shows listening ports. ### View Logs ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh logs [service-name] ``` Shows last 50 lines from the past hour for a systemd service. Defaults to `openclaw-daemon`. ### Restart Service ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh restart <service-name> ``` Restarts a systemd service. Requires sudo. **Always confirm with the user before running.** ### JSON Output Add `--json` to any command for machine-readable output: ```bash bash scripts/mctl.sh --json status ``` ## Usage Examples ### Quick daily check ``` User: "How's the system?" Agent: runs `mctl status` and summarizes findings ``` ### Debug a slow agent ``` User: "Why is my daemon slow?" Agent: runs `mctl health` to check resources, then `mctl logs openclaw-daemon` ``` ### Pre-deployment check ``` User: "Is everything healthy before I deploy?" Agent: runs `mctl --json status`, checks for red flags, gives go/no-go ``` ### Automated monitoring via cron ```bash # Add to openclaw cron for daily checks openclaw cron add --name "mission-control:daily" \ --schedule "0 8 * * *" \ --command "bash ~/.openclaw/skills/mission-control/scripts/mctl.sh --json status > /tmp/mctl-status.json" ``` ## What Gets Checked | Check | Source | Threshold | |-------|--------|-----------| | Agent processes | `pgrep` | Any running = green | | CPU load | `/proc/loadavg` | >CPUs = yellow | | RAM | `free -m` | >80% = red | | Disk | `df -h /` | >85% = red | | GPU/VRAM | `nvidia-smi` | Optional | | Cron | `openclaw cron list` | Shows schedule | | Services | `systemctl` | active/failed | | Ports | `ss -ltnp` | Informational | ## Installation No external dependencies. Requires: - Bash 4+ - Standard Linux utilities (ps, free, df, ss) - Optional: `nvidia-smi` for GPU, `openclaw` CLI for cron/status ```bash # Install via ClawHub clawhub install mission-control # Or manually cp -r . ~/.openclaw/skills/mission-control/ chmod +x ~/.openclaw/skills/mission-control/scripts/mctl.sh ``` ## Integration with OpenClaw Works with the existing OpenClaw ecosystem: - **openclaw cron** - Schedule periodic health checks - **openclaw status** - Included in full status report - **openclaw daemon** - Monitored as an agent process - **openclaw gateway** - Service health checked ## When to Use - Daily health checks for autonomous systems - Before deployments or major changes - Debugging performance issues - Quick "is everything running?" answer - Automated monitoring via cron - Post-incident verification ## Differences from mission-control-dashboard | Feature | mission-control (this) | mission-control-dashboard | |---------|----------------------|--------------------------| | Interface | CLI / agent skill | Web UI (browser) | | Use case | Quick status queries | Visual monitoring | | Dependencies | Bash only | Python 3.8+ | | Real-time | On-demand | Polling dashboard | | Best for | AI agent queries | Human visual monitoring | Use both together: this skill for agent-driven checks, the dashboard for visual monitoring. ## Author Built for autonomous infrastructure operations. ## Price **Free** on ClawHub ## Tags #monitoring #agents #health #cli #devops #automation #infrastructure #status ## License MIT
