# Mission Control
A monitoring dashboard for [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) AI agents — built with Python/FastAPI and Next.js.
A monitoring dashboard for [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) gateways — built with Python/FastAPI and Next.js.
## Why This Exists
## What It Does
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.
Mission Control connects to your OpenClaw gateways via their RPC endpoints and gives you a single place to see:
**The problem:** there was no single place to answer the obvious questions:
- **How much you're spending** — per-model cost breakdowns, cost trends, which model is burning your budget
- **Whether your gateway is healthy** — online/offline status, CPU, RAM, disk, uptime
- **What your cron jobs are doing** — schedules, last run, next fire, failures
- **Which sessions are active** — model, type, context usage, token counts
- **What your sub-agents are up to** — cost, duration, status at a glance
- **How costs are trending** — daily charts, 7d/30d comparisons, acceleration signals
- **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?**
It polls your gateways in the background, stores everything in PostgreSQL, and serves it through REST endpoints ready for the frontend dashboard.
**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.
## Current Status
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.
**Version:** 0.0.4 (dev branch)
**Phase:** Phase 2 — backend monitoring collection and API endpoints are live. Frontend dashboard panels are next.
## Features
### What's Working
### 6 Core Monitoring Panels
- **Backend API** — 97+ endpoints across boards, agents, gateways, tasks, organizations, approvals, and more (forked from base platform)
- **Gateway data collection** — background service polls `usage.cost`, `cron.list`, `sessions.list`, `sessions.preview`, `health`, and `status` RPC endpoints and upserts into PostgreSQL
- **7 monitoring models** — CostSnapshot, CronJobStatus, SessionEvent, SubAgentRun, SystemHealthMetric, AlertRule, AlertEvent
- **10 CRUD monitoring endpoints** — paginated, org-scoped read endpoints for all monitoring models
- **2 summary endpoints** — cost-summary and cost-breakdown (latest snapshot per gateway, per-model percentage breakdown)
- **Data processing functions**`ModelName()`, `BuildDailyChart()`, `BuildAlerts()`, `BuildCostBreakdown()`, `FmtTokens()` ported from Go
- **Event parser**`parse_session_event()` and `format_tool_status()` ported from TypeScript
- **WebSocket**`/ws/agents` with initial snapshot (last 50 events) + background polling
- **Auth** — Clerk for production, local token auth for dev (`AUTH_MODE=local`)
- **Next.js frontend** — boards, tasks, agents, gateways, organizations, approvals pages (base platform UI)
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.
### What's Not Yet Built
### Architecture
These are the remaining monitoring summary endpoints (tracked in FUTURE.md):
- **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)
- Health summary (`/api/v1/monitoring/health-summary`)
- Cron summary (`/api/v1/monitoring/cron-summary`)
- Sessions summary (`/api/v1/monitoring/sessions-summary`)
- Sub-agents summary (`/api/v1/monitoring/sub-agents-summary`)
- Cost trends (`/api/v1/monitoring/trends`)
### API Endpoints
And the frontend dashboard panels that consume these endpoints.

#### Gateway RPC Integration
### Platform Endpoints (97+)
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
The base platform provides full CRUD for: boards, tasks, agents, gateways, organizations, approvals, board groups, board memory, board webhooks, tags, skills marketplace, and more. See the OpenAPI docs at `/docs` when running.

GatewayCollectorService (background asyncio task)
│ Upsert into PostgreSQL

│ 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
- **`main`** — stable/release branch
- **`dev`** — working branch (all development happens here)
```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
git checkout dev
# ... make changes ...
git add -A && git commit -m "type: description"
git push origin dev
```
