Cron Health Check | OpenClaw Skill

Monitors the health of OpenClaw cron jobs by analyzing run history and identifying patterns of failures, timeouts, and delivery issues.

Usage

• As a scheduled cron job to monitor job health proactively
• Manually to check current cron job status
• After fixing cron job errors to verify improvements

bash

# Check health of all cron jobs (last 24 hours)
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/cron-health-check/scripts/check_cron_health.py

# Check last 48 hours
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/cron-health-check/scripts/check_cron_health.py --hours 48

# Output JSON format
python3 /Users/ghost/.openclaw/workspace/skills/cron-health-check/scripts/check_cron_health.py --json

What this skill does

• Analyzes cron job run history from the last N hours
• Identifies jobs with consecutive failures, timeouts, or delivery issues
• Reports health status (healthy/warning/critical) for each job
• Suggests fixes (e.g., adding --best-effort-deliver for delivery failures)
• Detects OpenRouter API limit issues

Integration as a Cron Job
