Remove secret exclusions from .gitignore (local-only repo). Add openclaw runtime state: credentials, identity, devices, hooks, telegram, secrets, agent configs. Exclude noisy/binary data: sessions, sqlite, media, temp files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Command Logger Hook
|
|
|
|
Logs all command events (`/new`, `/reset`, `/stop`, etc.) to a centralized audit log file for debugging and monitoring purposes.
|
|
|
|
## What It Does
|
|
|
|
Every time you issue a command to the agent:
|
|
|
|
1. **Captures event details** - Command action, timestamp, session key, sender ID, source
|
|
2. **Appends to log file** - Writes a JSON line to `~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
|
|
3. **Silent operation** - Runs in the background without user notifications
|
|
|
|
## Output Format
|
|
|
|
Log entries are written in JSONL (JSON Lines) format:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T14:30:00.000Z","action":"new","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"+1234567890","source":"telegram"}
|
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-16T15:45:22.000Z","action":"stop","sessionKey":"agent:main:main","senderId":"user@example.com","source":"whatsapp"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- **Debugging**: Track when commands were issued and from which source
|
|
- **Auditing**: Monitor command usage across different channels
|
|
- **Analytics**: Analyze command patterns and frequency
|
|
- **Troubleshooting**: Investigate issues by reviewing command history
|
|
|
|
## Log File Location
|
|
|
|
`~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log`
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
No requirements - this hook works out of the box on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
No configuration needed. The hook automatically:
|
|
|
|
- Creates the log directory if it doesn't exist
|
|
- Appends to the log file (doesn't overwrite)
|
|
- Handles errors silently without disrupting command execution
|
|
|
|
## Disabling
|
|
|
|
To disable this hook:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw hooks disable command-logger
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or via config:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"hooks": {
|
|
"internal": {
|
|
"entries": {
|
|
"command-logger": { "enabled": false }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Log Rotation
|
|
|
|
The hook does not automatically rotate logs. To manage log size, you can:
|
|
|
|
1. **Manual rotation**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mv ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log.old
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Use logrotate** (Linux):
|
|
Create `/etc/logrotate.d/openclaw`:
|
|
```
|
|
/home/username/.openclaw/logs/commands.log {
|
|
weekly
|
|
rotate 4
|
|
compress
|
|
missingok
|
|
notifempty
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Viewing Logs
|
|
|
|
View recent commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tail -n 20 ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pretty-print with jq:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Filter by action:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
grep '"action":"new"' ~/.openclaw/logs/commands.log | jq .
|
|
```
