Darkhunt Observability
See what your OpenClaw agent actually does. No more black box.
This plugin sends real-time telemetry to Darkhunt Observability so you can see every agent run as a trace — what the agent decided, which tools it called, how long each step took, and how much it cost.
What you get
- Full conversation traces so you see every step your agent takes: LLM calls, tool executions, and message flow as a connected timeline
- Tool visibility — which tools were called, what arguments were passed, whether they succeeded or failed
- User attribution — see which user triggered each conversation
- Multi-agent support — traces stay isolated per session, even with concurrent agents
- Cost tracking — know exactly how much each conversation costs, broken down by model call
- Token usage — input, output, cache read, and cache creation tokens per generation
- Performance timing — duration of every step, time-to-first-token for LLM responses
Setup
Setup takes 2 minutes:
- Install the plugin
- Run
openclaw tracehub setup - Restart the gateway
The wizard walks you through connecting to Darkhunt — just paste your API key and workspace ID.
Commands
openclaw tracehub setup # Interactive setup wizard
openclaw tracehub status # Show current configuration and status
openclaw tracehub config # Show raw plugin config as JSON
Privacy & Data Control
3 payload modes control what data leaves your environment:
- metadata (default) — structural data only: model name, token counts, cost, duration, tool names, success/failure. No conversation content is exported.
- debug — metadata + truncated content (500 chars). Useful for troubleshooting.
- full — includes conversation content subject to size limits (4 KB per field, 64 KB per span). Only use if you trust the destination endpoint.
Notes
- Free tier available at https://darkhunt.ai
- Exports via OTLP/protobuf (works with any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend)
- Never crashes your agent — all export errors are caught and logged
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install darkhunt-observability - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/darkhunt-observability - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
