olsch01 1bd3e724fe feat: Proactive agent health monitoring system
- Created AGENT-MONITORING-PROTOCOL.md - formal monitoring procedures
- Added automated health check script (runs every 4 hours)
- Monitors all cron jobs for errors and consecutive failures
- Alerts Chris via Telegram when issues detected
- Documents escalation paths and standard fixes
- Establishes success metrics: zero undetected failures

This ensures system reliability through proactive detection.

# 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.
