Service Watchdog
Lightweight service and endpoint monitoring for self-hosted infrastructure. Checks HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, SSL certificate expiry, and DNS resolution โ then reports status in a clean, chat-friendly format.
What It Does
HTTP Health Checks โ GET/POST with expected status codes, response time tracking, content matching TCP Port Checks โ Verify services are listening (databases, mail servers, game servers, etc.) SSL Certificate Monitoring โ Days until expiry, issuer info, auto-warn thresholds DNS Resolution โ Verify domains resolve correctly, detect DNS hijacking Smart Summaries โ One-glance status for all your services, with trend data Alert Logic โ Configurable thresholds, cooldowns, and severity levels to prevent alert fatigue
1. Create a watchlist
Create watchdog.json in your workspace root: { "services": [ { "name": "Home Assistant", "type": "http", "url": "http://192.168.1.100:8123", "expect_status": 200, "timeout_ms": 5000 }, { "name": "Proxmox", "type": "https", "url": "https://proxmox.local:8006", "expect_status": 200, "ssl_warn_days": 14, "timeout_ms": 5000 }, { "name": "PostgreSQL", "type": "tcp", "host": "db.local", "port": 5432, "timeout_ms": 3000 }, { "name": "My Domain", "type": "dns", "domain": "example.com", "expect_ip": "93.184.216.34" } ], "defaults": { "timeout_ms": 5000, "ssl_warn_days": 14, "alert_cooldown_min": 30, "history_retention_days": 30 } }
2. Run a check
bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh Output example: ๐ข Home Assistant โ 200 OK (142ms) ๐ข Proxmox โ 200 OK (89ms) | SSL: 47 days ๐ข PostgreSQL โ port 5432 open (12ms) ๐ข My Domain โ resolves to 93.184.216.34 โ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ 4/4 healthy | avg response: 81ms | checked: 2026-02-24 16:30 UTC
3. Detailed report
bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --report Shows trend data: uptime percentage, P95 response times, incident history.
4. JSON output (for cron integration)
bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --json
5. Check SSL only
bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --ssl-only
6. Alert summary (for messaging)
bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --alerts-only Only outputs services that need attention (down, slow, SSL expiring).
Cron Integration
Add to your OpenClaw cron for continuous monitoring: Every 5 minutes (lightweight check): Run `bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --json` and report only if any service is unhealthy. Daily SSL report: Run `bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh --ssl-only` and report expiring certificates.

How the Agent Should Use This
When the user asks about service status, infrastructure health, or "are my services up?": Run bash skills/service-watchdog/watchdog.sh for a quick overview Run with --report for detailed trends and history Run with --alerts-only for just the problems Run with --ssl-only to check certificate status Run with --json when you need structured data for further analysis For proactive monitoring, run checks in cron jobs and only alert the user when something is wrong.
Requirements
curl (for HTTP/HTTPS checks) openssl (for SSL certificate checks) nc or ncat (for TCP port checks) โ falls back to bash /dev/tcp if unavailable dig or nslookup (for DNS checks) โ falls back to host command jq (for JSON config parsing) All standard on most Linux distributions. No external APIs or accounts needed.
Category context
Messaging, meetings, inboxes, CRM, and teammate communication surfaces.
