traffic-monitor
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a coherent traffic-reporting skill; the main things to notice are its dependence on local vnstat/systemctl commands and its small persistent heartbeat state file.
This skill appears safe for its stated purpose if you want server traffic reports. Verify vnstat is installed and watching the correct interface, be cautious with the documented systemctl restart command, and know that heartbeat mode writes a small local state file to control repeated alerts.
Findings (3)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The skill may fail or produce no monthly report unless vnstat is already installed, configured, and collecting data on the server.
The registry metadata does not declare dependencies or installation steps even though the skill documentation and code rely on vnstat being available.
Required binaries (all must exist): none ... No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
Before installing or invoking it, confirm vnstat is installed, trusted, and monitoring the intended interface.
Restarting vnstat could affect traffic data collection or require elevated privileges on the server.
The documentation includes a service restart command. It is relevant to traffic monitoring, but it is an administrative action and should not be run casually.
# 重启 vnstat systemctl restart vnstat
Treat the systemctl commands as manual maintenance steps and run them only with user approval and appropriate server access.
The saved state can influence whether future heartbeat runs emit an alert, though it does not contain credentials or detailed traffic logs.
Heartbeat mode persists the last reported threshold and percentage in a local OpenClaw memory file so future runs decide whether to print another alert.
STATE_FILE = "/root/.openclaw/workspace/memory/traffic-state.json"
If alerts seem missing or repeated, inspect or clear this state file and ensure only trusted users can modify the OpenClaw memory directory.
