ClawMeter โ Cost Tracking Dashboard
Track OpenClaw API usage and spending in real-time with budget alerts.
Overview
ClawMeter is a self-hosted cost tracking dashboard that monitors your OpenClaw session logs, calculates token usage and API costs, and provides real-time analytics with customizable budget alerts. Perfect for: Users who want visibility into their AI spending Teams managing OpenClaw deployments with budgets Developers optimizing model selection based on cost Anyone who wants to avoid surprise API bills
Prerequisites
OpenClaw installed and running Node.js v18+ (for the dashboard server) Session logs enabled in OpenClaw (default)
Setup
Clone or download ClawMeter: cd ~/.openclaw/workspace git clone https://github.com/yourusername/clawmeter.git cd clawmeter Install dependencies: npm install Configure (optional): cp .env.example .env # Edit .env to customize paths, budget limits, or alert settings Ingest existing logs: npm run ingest Start the dashboard: npm start Open dashboard: Navigate to http://localhost:3377
Commands
When this skill is installed, your OpenClaw agent can respond to:
Spending Queries
"How much have I spent today?" Shows today's total spend and budget percentage "What's my monthly spend?" Displays current month total and budget status "Show me this week's costs" Summarizes last 7 days of spending
Cost Analysis
"Which model is most expensive?" Breaks down costs by model (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.) "Show my most expensive sessions" Lists top sessions by total cost "What's my average daily spend?" Calculates mean daily cost over the last 30 days
Dashboard & Reports
"Open my cost dashboard" Provides link to http://localhost:3377 "Generate a cost report" Exports summary data (today/week/month/all-time)
Data Management
"Refresh cost data" Triggers manual re-ingest of session logs "Clear old cost data" (Optional) Archive or delete data older than X days
API Endpoints
ClawMeter exposes a REST API that agents can query:
Summary Statistics
GET http://localhost:3377/api/summary Response: { "today": 2.15, "week": 8.42, "month": 32.76, "allTime": 127.89, "sessions": 234, "messages": 1842, "budgetDaily": 5.0, "budgetMonthly": 100.0 }
Daily Breakdown
GET http://localhost:3377/api/daily?days=30 Response: [ { "date": "2026-02-14", "cost": 2.15, "input_tokens": 45820, "output_tokens": 12340, "messages": 18 } ]
Sessions
GET http://localhost:3377/api/sessions?limit=50&offset=0 Response: [ { "id": "abc123", "agent": "main", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5", "total_cost": 0.842, "message_count": 12 } ]
Model Breakdown

GET http://localhost:3377/api/top-sessions?limit=10
Budget Alerts
GET http://localhost:3377/api/alerts
Manual Ingest
POST http://localhost:3377/api/ingest
Environment Variables
Edit .env to customize: # Paths OPENCLAW_AGENTS_DIR=/home/youruser/.openclaw/agents CLAWMETER_DB=/home/youruser/.openclaw/workspace/clawmeter/data/clawmeter.db # Server PORT=3377 # Budgets (USD) BUDGET_DAILY_LIMIT=5.00 BUDGET_MONTHLY_LIMIT=100.00 # Telegram alerts (optional) TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=your_chat_id # Email alerts (optional) SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com SMTP_PORT=587 SMTP_USER=your@email.com SMTP_PASS=your_app_password ALERT_EMAIL_TO=notify@yourdomain.com
Budget Alerts
ClawMeter automatically checks spending against configured thresholds and sends alerts via: Telegram โ Instant notifications to your phone Email โ Delivered via SMTP Alert triggers: Daily spend exceeds BUDGET_DAILY_LIMIT Monthly spend exceeds BUDGET_MONTHLY_LIMIT Alert throttling: One alert per type per day (prevents spam).
Example 1: Daily Spend Check
User: "How much have I spent today?" Agent Response: Let me check your spending... ๐ Today's Spend: $2.15 Budget: $5.00 (43% used) You have $2.85 remaining today. Implementation: const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3377/api/summary'); const data = await res.json(); const pct = (data.today / data.budgetDaily * 100).toFixed(0); return `๐ Today's Spend: $${data.today.toFixed(2)}\nBudget: $${data.budgetDaily.toFixed(2)} (${pct}% used)\n\nYou have $${(data.budgetDaily - data.today).toFixed(2)} remaining today.`;
Example 2: Model Comparison
User: "Which model should I use to save money?" Agent Response: Based on your usage history: ๐ฐ Cost per 1K messages: โข Claude Haiku 3-5: $0.12 โข GPT-4o-mini: $0.18 โข Claude Sonnet 4-5: $0.45 โข Claude Opus 4: $1.23 Recommendation: Use Haiku for simple tasks, Sonnet for complex work.
Example 3: Budget Warning
Agent (proactive): โ ๏ธ Budget Alert You've spent $5.52 today, exceeding your $5.00 daily limit. Top sessions today: 1. Code review task โ $2.10 2. Research project โ $1.85 3. Email drafting โ $0.98 Consider switching to a cheaper model or pausing non-urgent tasks.

Alerts History
View all triggered budget alerts See when and why alerts fired Track spending patterns over time
1. Personal Budget Management
Scenario: You want to keep OpenClaw costs under $100/month. Setup: Set BUDGET_MONTHLY_LIMIT=100.00 Enable Telegram alerts Check dashboard weekly Result: Get notified before you exceed budget, adjust usage accordingly.
2. Team Cost Allocation
Scenario: Multiple team members use shared OpenClaw instance. Setup: ClawMeter tracks costs by agent/session Export data via API for reporting Analyze which agents/projects cost most Result: Fair cost distribution, identify optimization opportunities.
3. Model Selection Optimization
Scenario: You're unsure which model to use for different tasks. Setup: Run experiments with different models Compare costs in ClawMeter dashboard Analyze cost-per-message and cost-per-token Result: Data-driven model selection, optimize for cost/quality balance.
4. Production Monitoring
Scenario: OpenClaw running in production, need cost visibility. Setup: ClawMeter auto-ingests logs in real-time Set aggressive budget alerts Monitor dashboard for anomalies Result: Catch cost spikes immediately, prevent runaway spending.
Dashboard shows $0.00
Cause: Session logs not found or not yet ingested. Fix: Verify OPENCLAW_AGENTS_DIR points to correct path Run npm run ingest manually Check that .jsonl files exist in agents/*/sessions/
Auto-watch not working
Cause: File watcher not detecting changes. Fix: Ensure server is running (npm start) Check terminal for ๐ฅ X new events messages Verify file permissions on session directories
Budget alerts not sending
Cause: Missing or incorrect credentials. Fix: Double-check TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID in .env For email, verify SMTP settings Check server logs for error messages
Database errors
Cause: Corrupted or locked database file. Fix: Stop the server Backup data/clawmeter.db Delete database and re-run npm run ingest
Custom Model Pricing
If you use custom models or pricing changes: Edit src/pricing.mjs Add entry to MODEL_PRICING object: 'your-custom-model': { input: 2.50, // per million tokens output: 10.00, // per million tokens cacheRead: 0.25, // optional cacheWrite: 3.75 // optional } Restart server
Scheduled Reports
Use cron to schedule daily/weekly reports: # Daily summary at 9 AM 0 9 * * * curl -s http://localhost:3377/api/summary | mail -s "Daily Cost Report" you@example.com
Data Export
Export raw data for external analysis: # Export all sessions to CSV sqlite3 data/clawmeter.db "SELECT * FROM sessions" -csv > sessions.csv
Running as a Service
Create systemd service for persistent operation: # /etc/systemd/system/clawmeter.service [Unit] Description=ClawMeter Cost Tracking Dashboard After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=youruser WorkingDirectory=/home/youruser/.openclaw/workspace/clawmeter ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Enable and start: sudo systemctl enable clawmeter sudo systemctl start clawmeter
Local Access Only
By default, ClawMeter binds to localhost:3377 and is not exposed to the internet. To access remotely, use SSH tunneling: ssh -L 3377:localhost:3377 your-server
Sensitive Data
Session logs may contain conversation data. ClawMeter: Stores only usage metadata (tokens, costs, timestamps) Does not store message content or prompts Database is local SQLite (no cloud sync)
API Authentication
ClawMeter currently has no authentication. For production: Run behind a reverse proxy (nginx/caddy) with auth Use firewall rules to restrict access Deploy on a private network
Resource Usage
CPU: Minimal (event-driven ingestion) RAM: ~50-100 MB Disk: Database grows ~1 KB per message (SQLite is very efficient) Network: None (all local)
Scalability
ClawMeter handles: 100K+ messages easily Years of historical data without performance degradation Multiple agents (separated by directory structure) For massive deployments (millions of messages), consider: Periodic database archiving PostgreSQL backend (requires code changes)
Roadmap
Planned features: Multi-user authentication PostgreSQL support for large deployments Export to CSV/JSON Cost forecasting (predict monthly spend) Slack/Discord webhook support Token usage heatmaps Model performance tracking (latency, quality) Budget recommendations based on usage patterns
