# Agent Health Monitoring Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
**Effective:** April 8, 2026
|
||||
**Owner:** Forge (Autonomous Operations Bot)
|
||||
**Priority:** Critical - System Reliability
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Objective
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain 100% awareness of all agent health status and proactively alert Chris when issues arise, before they impact business operations.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📋 Daily Health Check Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### Frequency
|
||||
- **Automated:** Every 4 hours during business hours (8 AM - 8 PM ET)
|
||||
- **Manual Review:** Once daily at 4 PM ET (comprehensive audit)
|
||||
- **Heartbeat Trigger:** When heartbeat.md check is performed
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Monitor
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Cron Job Status**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openclaw cron list
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Check for `error` status
|
||||
- Monitor `consecutiveErrors` count
|
||||
- Verify `lastRunStatus` is `ok`
|
||||
- Alert threshold: >3 consecutive errors
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Agent Logs**
|
||||
- Review `/logs/` directories for each agent
|
||||
- Look for repeated failures or timeouts
|
||||
- Check for successful API calls
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Business Critical Paths**
|
||||
- **Sales leads:** Verify leads are being detected and notified
|
||||
- **Revenue systems:** ROI Calculator & Interest Form APIs
|
||||
- **Daily reports:** Confirm delivery of morning brief, SEO report, workout
|
||||
|
||||
4. **System Resources**
|
||||
- Disk space in workspace
|
||||
- API rate limits (GA4, Reddit, etc.)
|
||||
- Network connectivity to endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Alert Triggers
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical (Immediate Alert Required)
|
||||
- [ ] Sales lead monitor fails (missing leads = lost revenue)
|
||||
- [ ] API endpoints unreachable (calc-submissions, interest form)
|
||||
- [ ] Multiple agents failing simultaneously (systemic issue)
|
||||
- [ ] Database or data corruption detected
|
||||
|
||||
### High Priority (Alert Within 1 Hour)
|
||||
- [ ] Any agent with >10 consecutive errors
|
||||
- [ ] Daily reports not delivered (SEO, morning brief, workout)
|
||||
- [ ] Reddit scout missing opportunities
|
||||
- [ ] JAE/Tier-1 scorer not processing leads
|
||||
|
||||
### Medium Priority (Include in Next Status Update)
|
||||
- [ ] Single agent failure with <10 errors
|
||||
- [ ] Occasional timeout or network error
|
||||
- [ ] Non-critical feature degradation

## 📊 Status Report Format
|
||||
|
||||
When reporting issues to Chris, use this format:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
🔔 *AGENT HEALTH ALERT* - [Severity]
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** [Brief description]
|
||||
**Affected Agent:** [agent-name]
|
||||
**Impact:** [Business impact - e.g., "Not detecting leads", "Missing daily report"]
|
||||
**Errors:** [X] consecutive failures
|
||||
**Last Successful Run:** [timestamp]
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** [If known]
|
||||
**Fix Applied:** [If already fixed]
|
||||
**Action Required:** [What Chris needs to do, if anything]
|
||||
|
||||
**System Status:**
|
||||
✅ Operational: [list critical agents working]
|
||||
⚠️ Degraded: [list agents with issues]
|
||||
❌ Down: [list completely failed agents]
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Standard Fixes (Autonomous)
|
||||
|
||||
Forge can and should fix these without asking:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Telegram Delivery Failures**
|
||||
- Change delivery target from broken `@heartbeat` to `telegram:8269921691`
|
||||
- Verify fix on next run
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Duplicate Agents**
|
||||
- Remove old/bash versions when Python versions exist
|
||||
- Keep Chris informed of cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Temporary Network Issues**
|
||||
- Retry failed API calls
|
||||
- Monitor for pattern vs. one-off
|
||||
|
||||
4. **State File Corruption**
|
||||
- Reset state files if corrupted
|
||||
- Preserve processed lead IDs to avoid re-notification
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 Documentation Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
After any issue or fix:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update AGENT-HEALTH-AUDIT.md** with current status
|
||||
2. **Log incident** in `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with:
|
||||
- What failed
|
||||
- Root cause
|
||||
- Fix applied
|
||||
- Prevention strategy
|
||||
3. **Self-improvement:** If a pattern emerges, create/update monitoring rules
|
||||

## 🔄 Continuous Improvement
|
||||
|
||||
### Weekly Review (Mondays at 10 AM)
|
||||
- Analyze error patterns from past week
|
||||
- Identify agents needing attention
|
||||
- Update monitoring thresholds
|
||||
- Refine alert logic
|
||||
|
||||
### Monthly Audit
|
||||
- Review all agent configurations
|
||||
- Verify API credentials still valid
|
||||
- Check for deprecated endpoints
|
||||
- Optimize schedules for efficiency
|
||||

|

|
||||
## 🎯 Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Zero undetected agent failures
|
||||
|
||||
**Measure:**
|
||||
- Time from failure to detection: <1 hour
|
||||
- Time from detection to resolution: <4 hours (for critical)
|
||||
- Percentage of issues caught proactively: 100%
|
||||
- Business impact from agent failures: Zero (catch before impact)

||||

||||
## 📞 Escalation Path
|
||||
|
||||
If Forge detects an issue it cannot fix autonomously:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Immediate:** Alert Chris via Telegram with full context
|
||||
2. **If no response in 4 hours:** Re-alert with urgency
|
||||
3. **If critical (revenue impact):** Suggest manual intervention
|
||||
4. **Document:** Log what prevented autonomous resolution

## 🔧 Tools & Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Quick health check
|
||||
openclaw cron list
|
||||
|
||||
# Detailed job info
|
||||
openclaw cron list --json | python3 -m json.tool
|
||||
|
||||
# Fix Telegram delivery
|
||||
openclaw cron edit <job-id> --channel "telegram" --to "telegram:8269921691"
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove broken agent
|
||||
openclaw cron rm <job-id>
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
tail -50 /Users/claw/.openclaw/workspace/agents/<agent>/logs/*.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Commitment:** Chris should never discover agent failures through missing outputs - Forge will always be the first to detect and report issues.
