Install

One-liner (recommended):

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vivekchand/clawmetry/main/install.sh | bash

pip:

pip install clawmetry
clawmetry

From source:

git clone https://github.com/vivekchand/clawmetry.git
cd clawmetry && pip install flask && python3 dashboard.py

v2 Frontend Development

The v2 React app lives in frontend/ and is served at /v2 when the Flask server is started with v2 enabled.

Use two terminals while developing:

# Terminal 1: Flask API/server on :8900
CLAWMETRY_V2=1 python3 dashboard.py

# Terminal 2: Vite dev server on :5173
cd frontend
nvm use
npm ci
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173/v2/. Vite proxies /api requests to http://localhost:8900, so the React app can talk to the local Flask server without extra CORS setup.

To build the bundle that ships with the Python package:

cd frontend
npm run build

The production bundle is written to clawmetry/static/v2/dist/.

Runtime / Agent Compatibility

ClawMetry observes many AI-agent runtimes, not just OpenClaw. Each non-OpenClaw runtime ships a dedicated reader adapter that translates its native session format into ClawMetry's unified shapes; the daemon ingests them into the same DuckDB store + cloud snapshot, tagged with the runtime, and the Session replay tab shows a runtime switcher when more than one is present. See docs/compatibility.md for the full matrix + a guide to adding runtimes, and docs/RUNTIME_FAMILY.md for the OpenClaw-family primer.

Runtime / Agent	Status	Notes
OpenClaw	Native	Reference runtime, auto-detected
PicoClaw	Beta adapter	Flat providers.Message JSONL (~/.picoclaw/workspace/sessions). Transcripts, model, tool calls.
NanoClaw	Beta adapter	Per-session SQLite (data/v2-sessions). Transcripts + message counts.
Hermes	Beta adapter	SQLite ~/.hermes/state.db. Transcripts, model, tokens/cost.
Claude Code	Beta adapter	JSONL ~/.claude/projects/.../<id>.jsonl. Transcripts, model, tool calls + thinking, token usage.
Codex	Beta adapter	Rollout JSONL ~/.codex/sessions/.... Transcripts, model, tool calls, token usage.
Cursor	Beta adapter	SQLite state.vscdb. Chat/composer transcripts, model.
Aider	Beta adapter	.aider.chat.history.md per project. Transcripts, model, token counts.
Goose	Beta adapter	SQLite ~/.local/share/goose. Transcripts, model, tool calls, token totals.
opencode	Beta adapter	SQLite ~/.local/share/opencode. Transcripts, model, tool calls, tokens + cost.
Qwen Code	Beta adapter	JSONL ~/.qwen/projects/.../chats. Transcripts, model, tool calls, token usage.

"Beta adapter" means ClawMetry ships a reader for that runtime's real on-disk format, each built + verified against a real install on a real machine (see tests/fixtures/runtimes/<rt>/). Adapters are read-only; each is honest about what its runtime actually stores (e.g. PicoClaw/NanoClaw/Cursor don't write token cost to disk). When several runtimes run on one node, the runtime switcher scopes the sessions view to one for a clean deep-dive.

OpenTelemetry — vendor-neutral, send your traces anywhere

ClawMetry speaks OpenTelemetry in both directions, using the GenAI semantic conventions, so your agent traces are never locked into one tool.

Export every session — LLM calls, tools, sub-agents, tokens, cost — as OTLP/HTTP GenAI spans to any collector (Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb, or your own OTel Collector):

clawmetry --otel-export http://localhost:4318/v1/traces
# equivalently:
CLAWMETRY_OTEL_EXPORT_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318/v1/traces clawmetry

Auth headers and poll interval are optional env vars:

CLAWMETRY_OTEL_EXPORT_HEADERS='{"X-API-Key":"…"}'   # extra HTTP headers
CLAWMETRY_OTEL_EXPORT_INTERVAL=60                    # seconds (default 60)

Ingest — the built-in OTLP receiver accepts traces and metrics from anything else at /v1/traces and /v1/metrics (pip install clawmetry[otel] for protobuf ingest).

You get the zero-config, local-first ClawMetry dashboard and your data in whatever backend your team already runs — no lock-in, no second agent to install.

Configuration

Most people don't need any config. ClawMetry auto-detects your workspace, logs, sessions, and crons.

If you do need to customize:

clawmetry --port 9000              # Custom port (default: 8900)
clawmetry --host 127.0.0.1         # Bind to localhost only
clawmetry --workspace ~/mybot      # Custom workspace path
clawmetry --name "Alice"           # Your name in Flow visualization

All options: clawmetry --help

Supported Channels

ClawMetry shows live activity for every OpenClaw channel you have configured. Only channels that are actually set up in your openclaw.json appear in the Flow diagram — unconfigured ones are automatically hidden.

Click any channel node in the Flow to see a live chat bubble view with incoming/outgoing message counts.

Auto-detection: ClawMetry reads your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and only renders the channels you've actually configured. No manual setup required.

Docker Deployment

Want to run ClawMetry in a container? No problem! 🐳

Quick start with Docker:

# Build the image
docker build -t clawmetry .

# Run with default settings
docker run -p 8900:8900 clawmetry

# Or with your OpenClaw workspace mounted
docker run -p 8900:8900 \
  -v ~/.openclaw:/root/.openclaw \
  -v /tmp/moltbot:/tmp/moltbot \
  clawmetry

Docker Compose example:

version: '3.8'
services:
  clawmetry:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8900:8900"
    volumes:
      - ~/.openclaw:/root/.openclaw:ro
      - /tmp/moltbot:/tmp/moltbot:ro
    restart: unless-stopped

Note: When running in Docker, make sure to mount your OpenClaw workspace and log directories so ClawMetry can auto-detect your setup.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Flask (installed automatically via pip)
• OpenClaw running on the same machine (or mounted volumes for Docker)
• Linux or macOS

NemoClaw / OpenShell Support

ClawMetry automatically detects NemoClaw — NVIDIA's enterprise security wrapper for OpenClaw that runs agents inside sandboxed OpenShell containers.

No extra configuration is needed in most cases. The sync daemon auto-discovers session files whether they live in ~/.openclaw/ on the host or inside an OpenShell container.

How it works

ClawMetry detects NemoClaw in two ways:

1. Binary detection — checks for the nemoclaw CLI and runs nemoclaw status to get sandbox info
2. Container detection — scans running Docker containers for openshell, nemoclaw, or ghcr.io/nvidia/ images, then reads sessions via volume mounts or docker cp

Session files synced from NemoClaw containers are tagged with runtime=nemoclaw and container_id metadata in the cloud dashboard, so you can tell them apart from standard OpenClaw sessions at a glance.

Recommended setup: sync daemon on the HOST

For the best experience, run ClawMetry's sync daemon on the host machine (not inside the sandbox). This avoids NemoClaw network policy restrictions.

# On the host (outside the sandbox)
pip install clawmetry
clawmetry connect
clawmetry sync

The sync daemon will automatically find sessions inside any running OpenShell containers.

Optional: explicit sandbox name

If auto-detection doesn't work, point ClawMetry at the right sandbox:

export NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX=my-sandbox-name
clawmetry sync

Running inside the sandbox (advanced)

If you must run the sync daemon inside the OpenShell sandbox, add this egress rule to your NemoClaw network policy so it can reach the ClawMetry ingest API:

# nemoclaw-policy.yaml
network:
  egress:
    - host: ingest.clawmetry.com
      port: 443
      protocol: https

Apply with:

nemoclaw policy apply --file nemoclaw-policy.yaml

Ports and endpoints

Endpoint	Port	Protocol	Required
ingest.clawmetry.com	443	HTTPS	Yes (sync daemon → cloud)
localhost:8900	8900	HTTP	Yes (local dashboard UI)
Docker socket (/var/run/docker.sock)	—	Unix socket	For container session discovery

The sync daemon only makes outbound HTTPS calls to ingest.clawmetry.com. No inbound ports are required.

Testing

This project is tested with BrowserStack.

Telemetry

ClawMetry sends a single anonymous "first run" ping to https://app.clawmetry.com/api/install the first time you run the clawmetry CLI on a new machine. We use this to count installs (the only marketing metric we have for an OSS project) and to learn which agent frameworks our users have installed.

Exactly one POST per install, containing:

Field	Example	Why
install_id	random UUID stored at ~/.clawmetry/install_id	dedup; not linked to your email or api_key
version	0.12.167	what versions are in the wild
os / os_version	Darwin / 25.3.0	platform support priorities
python	3.11.15	Python version support matrix
agent	openclaw / nemoclaw / hermes / none	which agents we should integrate with next
is_ci / ci_provider	true / github_actions	separate human installs from CI noise

What we do NOT send: IP (cloud derives the country code server-side from the request, then discards the IP), hostname, username, workspace path, file contents, your api_key, your email, anything PII or workspace-specific. The wire payload is auditable in clawmetry/telemetry.py.

Opt out (any one of these disables it permanently):

export CLAWMETRY_NO_TELEMETRY=1                # per-shell
export DO_NOT_TRACK=1                          # W3C cross-tool standard
touch ~/.clawmetry/notelemetry                 # persistent file marker

A network failure here never blocks clawmetry from running — the ping is fire-and-forget on a daemon thread with a 3 s timeout.
