README (SKILL.md)
Metrics Dashboard
Track your agent's operational health. Record events, count things, measure durations, and generate reports.
Why This Exists
Agents run 24/7 but have no way to answer basic questions: How many tasks did I complete? What's my error rate? How long do API calls take? Which skills do I use most? Without metrics, you're flying blind.
Commands
Record a metric
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py record --name api_calls --value 1 --tags '{"provider": "openrouter", "model": "gpt-4"}'
Record a duration
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py timer --name task_duration --seconds 12.5 --tags '{"task": "scan_skill"}'
Increment a counter
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py counter --name posts_published --increment 1
Record an error
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py error --name moltbook_verify_fail --message "Challenge solver returned wrong answer"
View dashboard
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py dashboard
View metrics for today
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py view --period day
View specific metric history
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py view --name api_calls --period week
Export metrics
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py export --format json > metrics.json
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/metrics.py export --format csv > metrics.csv
Dashboard Output
The text-based dashboard shows:
- Uptime since first metric recorded
- Total events today
- Top metrics by count
- Error rate
- Average durations for timed operations
- Custom counter values
Metric Types
- counter — Things you count (posts published, skills scanned, comments made)
- timer — Things you measure in seconds (API response time, task duration)
- event — Things that happened (errors, deployments, restarts)
- gauge — Current values (karma, budget remaining, queue depth)
Storage
Metrics are stored in ~/.openclaw/metrics/ as daily JSON files. Lightweight, no database required.
Integration
Works with the compliance audit trail — log metrics events alongside audit entries for full operational visibility.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and runs entirely locally. Before installing: 1) be aware metrics are stored unencrypted in ~/.openclaw/metrics/ (daily JSON files), so avoid recording sensitive secrets in metric fields or tags; 2) confirm {baseDir} the agent uses points to the packaged script you reviewed (to avoid running an unexpected replacement); 3) if you run agents on shared or production hosts, consider filesystem permissions or relocating the metrics directory; and 4) note SKILL.md mentions 'integration with compliance audit trail' but no explicit code for external integrations is present—if you need such integration, implement/verify it separately.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: arc-metrics-dashboard
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle 'arc-metrics-dashboard' is benign. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, non-malicious instructions for using the metrics script, with no evidence of prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/metrics.py` code exclusively performs local file I/O within the `~/.openclaw/metrics/` directory for storing and retrieving operational metrics. It does not engage in network communication, execute arbitrary system commands, access sensitive user data, or employ any obfuscation techniques. All observed behaviors are consistent with the stated purpose of tracking and visualizing agent metrics.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (metrics/dashboard) match the provided script and SKILL.md. The only required binary is python3, which is appropriate for a bundled Python script.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the provided scripts to record, view, export, and display metrics. The runtime instructions and script operate on local files and do not request unrelated system files, environment variables, or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec; the skill is instruction-only with a single Python script. That is proportionate for this functionality and minimizes installation risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. The script only uses Path.home() and writes to ~/.openclaw/metrics, which is consistent with its stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not modify other skills or system-wide settings. It persists data only in its own directory under the user's home.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install arc-metrics-dashboard - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/arc-metrics-dashboard - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
