Scheduling

Set up recurring scans so ClawVitals checks your installation automatically.

How scheduled scans work

Scheduled scans run automatically via OpenClaw's built-in cron system. Results are only delivered when there is something to act on new critical or high findings since the last scan. Clean scans produce no output.

Set up a schedule

clawvitals set schedule daily Run every day at 8:00 AM

clawvitals set schedule weekly Run every Monday at 8:00 AM

clawvitals set schedule monthly Run on the 1st of each month at 8:00 AM

clawvitals set schedule none Disable scheduled scans (manual only)

If your default control mode is set to expanded (clawvitals set mode expanded), scheduled scans will also run the expanded system-level checks.

Alert threshold

The alert threshold controls which severity level triggers a notification on a scheduled scan. The default is high you'll be notified for new critical or high findings only.

critical only alert on new critical findings
high alert on critical and high (default)
medium alert on critical, high, and medium

To change the threshold:

clawvitals config alert_threshold medium

Manual scans

You can always trigger a manual scan at any time, regardless of your schedule:

run clawvitals

Manual scans always return a full result they are never silent.
