OpenClaw SLS Integration
This skill provisions Alibaba Cloud SLS observability for OpenClaw on Linux and keeps reruns safe.
At a high level, execute this flow:
- Check and install
aliyunCLI (install latest when missing) - Install
LoongCollectorby project region (skip if already running) - Create an identifier-based machine group (local identifier + cloud machine group)
- Create
logstoreindex and dashboards - Create
logstorecollection config - Bind the collection config to the machine group
Capture Intent Before Execution
Before running commands, make sure the user intent is complete:
- Confirm the target
PROJECTandLOGSTORE. - Confirm Linux host access with
sudoavailable. - Confirm AK/SK are already exported in environment variables.
- If any required input is missing, ask for it first and do not run partial setup.
Prerequisites
Required:
PROJECT: SLS project nameLOGSTORE: SLS logstore name
Read from environment variables:
ALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_IDALIBABACLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRETALIYUN_UID(used for the local UID file under/etc/ilogtail/users)
Recommended optional:
ALIBABACLOUD_REGION_ID(auto-resolved fromPROJECTwhen not set)
If you use different AK/SK variable names, export them to these standard names first.
Expected Result
After successful execution, the environment should contain:
- Running
LoongCollector(orilogtaild) on the host - Machine group
openclaw-sls-collector - Logstore index created on the target
LOGSTORE - Dashboards
openclaw-auditandopenclaw-gateway - Collection config
openclaw-audit_${LOGSTORE} - Config binding between
openclaw-audit_${LOGSTORE}andopenclaw-sls-collector
One-Time Execution Flow (Idempotent)
The commands below are designed as "exists -> skip" and are safe to rerun. Strict template mode: for index/config/dashboard payloads, always read from files in
references/. Do not handcraft or simplify JSON bodies beyond required placeholder replacement.
