Which operating systems are supported by this skill?

Gateway Watchdog supports Linux (via cron or systemd), macOS (via launchd), and Docker environments (via HEALTHCHECK directives).

What is the primary function of the Gateway Watchdog skill?

The skill provides a self-healing system for the OpenClaw gateway by monitoring the process, checking health status, and automatically rolling back configurations if a failure is detected.

How does it handle configuration backups?

It implements a tiered backup strategy: it saves a backup on every successful health check, creates a 'prev' backup before any manual edits, and preserves failed configurations for debugging.

Can I manually check the status of the watchdog?

Yes, the skill provides specific commands to check the watchdog status, force a configuration backup, and view real-time logs.

分析と監視

Automates self-healing, configuration backups, and process recovery for OpenClaw gateway instances.

The Gateway Watchdog skill provides a robust three-layer protection system designed to keep OpenClaw gateways resilient and highly available. It automates critical maintenance tasks including real-time process monitoring for instant restarts, authentication-aware health checks that trigger configuration rollbacks upon failure, and a comprehensive backup strategy for openclaw.json. This skill is essential for developers and operators who need to ensure their gateway remains stable against configuration corruption, process crashes, or authentication-related service interruptions without manual intervention.
