Events
The Events page shows a real-time stream of everything happening in your OpenClaw instance — messages, heartbeats, agent activity, errors, and more.
Event Feed
Events stream in real time via WebSocket. Each event shows:
- Timestamp — when the event occurred
- Event type — the kind of event (e.g.,
agent,chat,cron,system) - Payload — the event data, displayed as formatted JSON
Controls
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Pause/Resume | Stop the live stream to inspect events without them scrolling away |
| Clear | Remove all events from the current view |
| Filter | Text search across event types and payloads |
Event Types
Common events you’ll see:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
agent | Agent lifecycle events (run start, run end, stream data) |
chat | Chat message events (new messages, completions) |
cron | Cron job triggers and completions |
system | Gateway-level events (connections, disconnections) |
💡
Events are not persisted — they only appear while the page is open. Navigating away and back starts a fresh stream.
