How many agents can the mission control dashboard monitor?

There is no built-in limit. The dashboard can display as many agents as you have running on your RunTheAgent account. For large numbers of agents, use filters and grouping to keep the layout manageable.

Can I see historical performance data for each agent?

Yes. Each agent widget can display historical trends. Click on any agent card to expand a detailed view with performance history going back as far as your data retention settings allow, typically 30 to 90 days.

Does the dashboard update in real time?

Yes. The dashboard refreshes on a configurable interval, as frequently as every 30 seconds. Status indicators and alert states update automatically so you always see the current state of your agent system.

Dashboard Mission Control: Multi-Agent Systems

Monitor all your OpenClaw agents from a single mission control dashboard with real-time status, performance metrics, and cross-agent alerting.

What You Will Get

By the end of this guide, you will have a centralized dashboard that shows the status and performance of every OpenClaw agent running on your RunTheAgent account. Instead of checking each agent individually, you see all of them on one screen with live status indicators, message counts, error rates, and response times.

Mission control is essential when you operate multiple agents for different purposes, like a support bot, an analytics agent, and an internal tooling agent. Each agent generates its own metrics, but you need a unified view to understand the overall health of your system and catch issues that span multiple agents.

The dashboard also supports cross-agent alerts. If one agent's failure affects another, the mission control system detects the dependency and notifies you. This operational visibility turns your collection of individual agents into a managed, reliable system.

Step-by-Step Setup

Build your multi-agent mission control dashboard.

List All Active Agents

Open the RunTheAgent dashboard and note every OpenClaw agent you have running. Record each agent's name, purpose, and the channels or data sources it uses. This inventory is the foundation for your mission control layout.

Create the Mission Control Dashboard

In the Dashboards section, create a new dashboard named 'Mission Control.' This dashboard will contain widgets for each agent. Start with a grid layout that gives each agent its own row or card.

Add Agent Status Widgets

For each agent, add a status widget that shows whether the agent is online, the last time it processed a message, and the current error rate. These widgets pull from the agent's internal metrics. A green indicator means the agent is healthy, yellow means degraded, and red means there is an issue.

Add Performance Metric Widgets

Below each status widget, add performance metrics like average response time, messages processed per hour, and queue depth. These metrics help you identify bottlenecks and plan capacity. Use line charts to show trends over the past 24 hours.

Configure Cross-Agent Alerts

Set up alerts that fire when any agent's metrics breach a threshold. You can also create dependency alerts, like 'Alert me if the analytics agent has not received data from the data pipeline agent in the last hour.' Cross-agent alerts catch systemic issues that individual agent monitoring would miss.

Set Up a Summary View

Add a summary row at the top of the dashboard showing aggregate metrics: total messages processed across all agents, overall system uptime, and the number of active alerts. This high-level view gives you an instant health check without scanning each agent individually.

Share with Your Team

Share the mission control dashboard with your operations team using the dashboard sharing features on RunTheAgent. Display it on a wall-mounted screen if your team works in a shared space, or pin it in your team's Slack channel for easy access.

Tips and Best Practices

Prioritize by Business Impact

Arrange agent cards on the dashboard by business criticality. Put customer-facing agents at the top and internal tools below. This ensures the most important agents get attention first when scanning the dashboard.

Set Meaningful Thresholds

Calibrate alert thresholds for each agent based on its typical workload. A support agent might normally process 200 messages per hour, so an alert at 50 messages per hour is meaningful. An analytics agent might process 10 queries per day, so a different threshold applies.

Review Weekly

Hold a brief weekly review of the mission control dashboard with your team. Look at trends in agent performance, recurring alerts, and capacity needs. This practice catches slow-building issues before they become urgent problems.

Use Color Coding Consistently

Apply the same color scheme across all agent widgets so your team can read the dashboard at a glance. Green for healthy, yellow for warning, red for critical. Consistency reduces cognitive load and speeds up incident response.
