Goal

Build an operational view over distributed OpenClaw agents so operations are no longer ad-hoc shell sessions.

Architecture Highlights

  • Control plane API
    • Centralizes desired state and command intent.
  • Worker heartbeat model
    • Agents publish periodic liveness + version metadata.
  • Command bus + idempotency
    • Executions are idempotent by command key to avoid duplicate remediations.
  • Policy rules
    • Alert conditions map to deterministic actions (restart, drain, isolate, notify).
  • Session traceability
    • Every operation attaches correlation IDs across command, execution, and post-checks.

Implementation Notes

  • Partitioned state tables by workspace/tenant to keep multi-agent operations isolated.
  • Backpressure controls on inbound status updates to avoid thundering-herd telemetry writes.
  • Progressive rollout support with canary execution windows before wide command fan-out.

Why this matters

It turns “manual intervention” workflows into repeatable procedures with explicit state transitions, which improves reliability in incidents and reduces time-to-detect.
