How to Install ClawMetry on xCloud OpenClaw Hosting
xCloud is fully managed OpenClaw hosting designed for people who don't want to think about servers. You sign up, your agent is live, and xCloud handles everything else. But "everything else" doesn't include telling you what your agent is actually doing.
ClawMetry adds that missing piece. And installing it takes one prompt.
Total time: about 2 minutes.
What is xCloud?
xCloud is a fully managed OpenClaw hosting platform. No server provisioning, no SSH, no terminal. You get a running OpenClaw agent with channels, cron jobs, sub-agents, and persistent storage, all managed through a clean web interface.
It's built for beginners and people who want their agent running without touching infrastructure. xCloud handles updates, uptime, backups, and scaling. You just use your agent.
The tradeoff? You don't have server access. Which means traditional monitoring approaches (install Grafana, set up Prometheus, tail log files) simply don't apply. You need something that works through the agent itself.
The problem
Your xCloud agent runs 24/7. It processes messages, spawns sub-agents, runs cron jobs, calls tools, burns tokens. And you have zero visibility into any of it.
- How many tokens did it use today?
- Which model is costing you the most?
- Is that cron job actually running?
- Did the sub-agent it spawned succeed or fail silently?
- What was it doing at 3 AM when you were asleep?
xCloud gives you a great managed experience. But it doesn't give you a window into your agent's behavior. You're paying for compute and tokens with no feedback loop on how they're being spent.
The one-command setup
Open your xCloud agent chat (Telegram, Discord, or wherever you talk to it) and paste this:
Help me install in a long running PTY pip install clawmetry && clawmetry connect && setup clawmetry sync via supervisord
That's it. Your agent takes it from here.
Why "long running PTY"? The clawmetry connect step needs interactive input (it asks for your email to authenticate). Running in a PTY ensures the agent can handle the interactive prompts.
This is perfect for xCloud users because you don't need SSH access or a terminal. You're installing monitoring software by talking to your agent. The agent is both the tool and the installer.
What happens
Your agent will do three things:
- Install ClawMetry via pip. Takes a few seconds.
- Connect to ClawMetry Cloud using
clawmetry connect. This authenticates your instance with end-to-end encryption. Your data stays yours. - Set up supervisord to keep the sync daemon running. Even if xCloud restarts your instance, the ClawMetry sync process comes back automatically.
The whole process takes about a minute. Your agent handles every step, including answering the interactive prompts.
E2E encrypted. The connection between your xCloud instance and ClawMetry Cloud is end-to-end encrypted. We can't read your session data, memory files, or tool calls. Only you can.
What you get
Once connected, open app.clawmetry.com. You'll see your xCloud agent's activity in real time:
- Agent sessions with full tool call traces and thinking
- Token costs broken down by model, session, and tool
- Memory changes to SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and other workspace files
- Cron jobs with status, schedule, and failure history
- Sub-agents with real-time progress, commands, and outcomes
- Session history with timeline and cost breakdown
For xCloud users especially, this is a game-changer. You went from having zero server access and zero monitoring to having a full observability dashboard, all without ever touching a terminal.
Built for beginners
If you chose xCloud because you didn't want to deal with servers, ClawMetry fits right into that philosophy. There's nothing to configure, no YAML files to edit, no dashboards to self-host. You asked your agent to install it. It did. Now you have monitoring.
The dashboard at app.clawmetry.com is a clean web interface that works on any device. No learning curve.
