Is Your OpenClaw Truly Under Control?

This article details how to build a comprehensive observability and security audit system for OpenClaw AI Agents using Alibaba Cloud Simple Log Service (SLS). Based on OpenClaw and Alibaba Cloud Simple Log Service (SLS), you can ingest logs and OpenTelemetry (OTEL) telemetry into SLS to build an AI Agent observability system. This system helps achieve a closed loop of behavior audit, O&M observability, real-time alerting, and security audit. 1.Why Must We Ask: "Is the Agent Really Under Control?"

If you cannot answer these questions, you cannot claim that the Agent is running under control. This article focuses on "how to use Alibaba Cloud SLS to answer the above questions." Session logs answer "what was done and how much it cost." Application logs answer "Identify system abn
