Dashboard
Your operational headquarters — monitor agents, costs, approvals, and live activity at a glance.
/dashboardOverview#
The Dashboard is the first page you see after logging in. It consolidates the most important operational signals into a single view: how many agents are online, what needs your approval, how much you've spent today, and what's happening right now.
Rather than navigating to individual modules, the Dashboard surfaces urgent items (pending approvals, anomalous costs, unhealthy agents) and lets you act on them directly. It adapts to your fleet size — from a single-agent setup to a multi-gateway enterprise deployment.
Prerequisites#
- At least one connector synced (see Connectors)
- Agents discovered and synced (see Agents)
Expected Results#
Once your connector is synced and agents are discovered, the Dashboard populates with:
- -KPI stats row: Agents Online (count / total), Pending Approvals, Today's Cost ($), and Events Today
- -Operational Pulse Bar: Sync Freshness, Next Scheduled Run, Active Automations, and Pending Approvals
- -Governance Center: Urgent approval card (left) and live activity feed (right)
- -Operations Board: Agent health overview in grid or list layout
- -Cost Trend: 7-day bar chart showing daily cost values
Web Operations#
The Dashboard is accessible from the top of the sidebar. It loads automatically after login.
KPI Cards
Four summary cards at the top of the page give you instant operational awareness:
- -Agents Online — Shows the count of healthy agents vs. total registered agents
- -Pending Approvals — Number of approval requests awaiting your decision
- -Today's Cost — Aggregated USD cost across all agents for the current day
- -Events Today — Total audit events recorded since midnight
Operational Pulse Bar
A horizontal status bar beneath the KPI cards that tracks operational health in real-time:
- -Sync Freshness — How recently the connector last synced data from the gateway
- -Next Scheduled Run — Countdown to the next cron job execution
- -Active Automations — Number of runbooks and workflows currently running
- -Pending Approvals — Clickable link that navigates to the Approvals page
Governance Center
A two-column layout designed for quick decision-making:
- -Left column: Urgent Approval card showing the highest-priority pending approval with action name, agent, risk level, reasoning, impact assessment, and Approve/Deny buttons
- -Right column: Live Activity Feed powered by Server-Sent Events (SSE), displaying real-time audit events with colored type badges (agent_action, approval, config_change, etc.)
Operations Board
A visual overview of all agents in your fleet. Each entry shows the agent name, health status dot (green/amber/red), role, model, skills count, and connected instance. Supports both grid and list layouts. Click any agent to navigate to its detail page.
Cost Trend
A 7-day bar chart displaying daily cost values. Each bar is normalized to the maximum day's cost. Hover to see exact USD amounts. Click to navigate to the full Cost Tracking page for detailed breakdowns.
Getting Started Checklist
First-time users see a dismissible onboarding checklist with four steps. Once all steps are completed (or the checklist is dismissed), it no longer appears. Progress is stored in localStorage.
- -Connect Gateway — Link your first OpenClaw instance
- -Browse Agents — View discovered agents in the registry
- -View Cost — Check today's cost summary
- -Read Docs — Open the user manual
Mobile Operations#
On mobile, the Home tab (first tab in the bottom navigation) mirrors the Dashboard's key data:
- -KPI summary cards for agents online, pending approvals, and today's cost
- -Cost summary with sparkline trend chart
- -Pull-to-refresh to reload dashboard data
MCP Integration#
The ClawButler MCP Server exposes a dashboard resource that AI assistants can read to get a snapshot of your operational status.
This resource returns a text summary including agent counts, today's cost, pending approvals, and recent events — the same data surfaced in the Web dashboard.
