Health Checks on macOS

How to see whether the linked channel is healthy from the menu bar app.

Menu bar

  • Status dot now reflects Baileys health:
    • Green: linked + socket opened recently.
    • Orange: connecting/retrying.
    • Red: logged out or probe failed.
  • Secondary line reads "linked · auth 12m" or shows the failure reason.
  • "Run Health Check" menu item triggers an on-demand probe.

Settings

  • General tab gains a Health card showing: linked auth age, session-store path/count, last check time, last error/status code, and buttons for Run Health Check / Reveal Logs.
  • Uses a cached snapshot so the UI loads instantly and falls back gracefully when offline.
  • Channels tab surfaces channel status + controls for WhatsApp/Telegram (login QR, logout, probe, last disconnect/error).

How the probe works

  • App runs openclaw health --json via ShellExecutor every ~60s and on demand. The probe loads creds and reports status without sending messages.
  • Cache the last good snapshot and the last error separately to avoid flicker; show the timestamp of each.

When in doubt

  • You can still use the CLI flow in Gateway health (openclaw status, openclaw status --deep, openclaw health --json) and tail /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-*.log for web-heartbeat / web-reconnect.
