# Mission Control
A monitoring dashboard for [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) AI agents — built with Python/FastAPI and Next.js.
## Why This Exists
When you run OpenClaw seriously — multiple agents, dozens of cron jobs, sub-agents spawning sub-agents, several Telegram groups and WhatsApp, Slack, and Discord channels, 10+ models — information gets scattered fast.
**The problem:** there was no single place to answer the obvious questions:
- **Is my gateway actually running right now?**
- **How much have I spent today, and which model is burning the most?**
- **Which cron jobs ran, which failed, and when does the next one fire?**
- **What sessions are active and how much context are they consuming?**
- **Are my sub-agents doing useful work or spinning in circles?**
- **What's the cost trend over the last 7 days — am I accelerating?**
**The solution:** a single dashboard that collects everything in one place — gateway health, costs, cron status, active sessions, sub-agent runs, model usage — refreshed automatically, org-scoped, no login required for local development. Open a browser tab, get the full picture in seconds.
It's not trying to replace the OpenClaw CLI or Telegram interface. It's the at-a-glance overview layer that tells you whether everything is healthy and where your money and compute are going — so you can make decisions without hunting for data.
## Features
### 6 Core Monitoring Panels
1. **💰 Cost Cards & Breakdown** — Today's cost, all-time cost, projected monthly, per-model cost breakdown with 7d/30d/all-time tabs. Know exactly which model is burning your budget.
2. **💚 System Health** — Gateway status (online/offline), PID, uptime, memory, compaction mode, CPU/RAM/swap/disk gauges. See at a glance whether your gateway is healthy.
3. **⏰ Cron Jobs** — All scheduled jobs with status, schedule, last/next run, duration, model. Spot failures instantly and see when the next fire is.
4. **📡 Active Sessions** — Recent sessions with model, type badges (DM/group/cron/subagent), context % bars, token counts. See who's consuming what.
5. **🤖 Sub-Agent Activity** — Sub-agent runs with cost, duration, status + token breakdown (7d/30d tabs). Know whether sub-agents are productive or spinning.
6. **📈 Cost Trends** — Cost trend line over 7d/30d, model cost breakdown bars, acceleration indicators. Catch spending spikes before they hurt.
### Architecture
- **Backend:** Python/FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Redis
- **Frontend:** Next.js 16 + React 19 + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
- **Data collection:** Background gateway collector polling OpenClaw RPC endpoints
- **Real-time:** WebSocket endpoint for live agent events
- **Data processing:** Pure Python functions ported from Go dashboard logic (model name normalization, daily chart aggregation, alert computation, token formatting)
### API Endpoints
#### Monitoring Summary Endpoints
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/api/v1/monitoring/cost-summary` | GET | Today's cost, all-time cost, projected monthly |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/cost-breakdown` | GET | Per-model cost breakdown (7d/30d/all) |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/health-summary` | GET | Gateway status, system metrics, health gauges |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/cron-summary` | GET | Cron job statuses, schedules, run history |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/sessions-summary` | GET | Active sessions with model, context %, tokens |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/sub-agents-summary` | GET | Sub-agent runs with cost, duration, status |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/trends` | GET | Cost trends, model breakdown (7d/30d) |
#### Monitoring CRUD Endpoints
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| `/api/v1/monitoring/cost-snapshots` | GET | Paginated cost snapshot records |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/cron-jobs` | GET | Paginated cron job status records |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/sessions` | GET | Paginated session event records |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/health` | GET | Paginated system health metrics |
| `/api/v1/monitoring/sub-agents` | GET | Paginated sub-agent run records |
#### WebSocket
| Endpoint | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `/ws/agents` | Real-time agent events (initial snapshot + polling) |
#### Gateway RPC Integration
The collector service polls these OpenClaw gateway RPC endpoints:
- `usage.cost` + `usage.status` → Cost snapshots
- `cron.list` → Cron job status
- `sessions.list` + `sessions.preview` → Session events
- `health` + `status` → System health metrics
## Quick Start
### Docker Compose (Recommended)
```bash
git clone https://forgejo/null/Mission-Control.git
cd Mission-Control
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d
```
The backend runs on port 8080, frontend on port 3037.
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `COLLECTION_INTERVAL_COST` | 300 | Seconds between cost collection |
| `COLLECTION_INTERVAL_CRON` | 60 | Seconds between cron collection |
| `COLLECTION_INTERVAL_SESSION` | 30 | Seconds between session collection |
| `COLLECTION_INTERVAL_HEALTH` | 60 | Seconds between health collection |
| `LOCAL_AUTH_TOKEN` | — | Token for local dev auth |
| `POSTGRES_HOST` | db | PostgreSQL host |
| `POSTGRES_PORT` | 5432 | PostgreSQL port |
| `POSTGRES_DB` | mission_control | Database name |
| `REDIS_URL` | redis://redis:6379/0 | Redis connection URL |

## Data Collection Flow
```
OpenClaw Gateway
│ RPC (usage.cost, cron.list, sessions.list, health, status)
GatewayCollectorService (background asyncio task)
│ Upsert into PostgreSQL
Monitoring Models (CostSnapshot, CronJobStatus, SessionEvent, SubAgentRun, SystemHealthMetric)
│ API endpoints + data_processing transforms
Dashboard Frontend (Next.js)
│ WebSocket for real-time events
Live Agent Activity Panel
```
## Source Repos
Mission Control ports functionality from two OpenClaw dashboard projects:
- **[openclaw-dashboard](https://github.com/mudrii/openclaw-dashboard)** (Go) — Dashboard panels, data processing logic, alert computation
- **[openclaw-pixel-agents-dashboard](https://github.com/jaffer1979/openclaw-pixel-agents-dashboard)** (Node/Express) — Pixel agent visualization, session watching, event parsing
**Key decision:** No new backend languages. Go and Node functionality ports to Python/FastAPI within Mission Control's backend. We reuse the gateway RPC transport and data model shapes, but port all processing/aggregation logic as pure Python functions.
## Development
```bash
# Backend
cd src/backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8080
# Frontend
cd src/frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```
