summary: "CLI reference for `openclaw health` (gateway health snapshot via RPC)"
read_when:
- You want to quickly check the running Gateway's health
title: "Health"

# `openclaw health`
Fetch a health snapshot from the running Gateway over WebSocket RPC (no direct channel sockets from the CLI).
## Options
| Flag | Default | Description |
| ---------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--json` | `false` | Print machine-readable JSON instead of text. |
| `--timeout <ms>` | `10000` | Connection timeout in milliseconds. |
| `--verbose` | `false` | Forces a live probe and expands output across all configured accounts and agents. |
| `--debug` | `false` | Alias for `--verbose`. |
Examples:
```bash
openclaw health
openclaw health --json
openclaw health --timeout 2500
openclaw health --verbose
openclaw health --debug
```
## Behavior
- Without `--verbose`, the Gateway can return a cached snapshot (fresh for up to 60 seconds and unchanged from live channel runtime state) and refresh it in the background for the next caller.
- `--verbose` forces a live probe (per-channel account probes), prints Gateway connection details, and expands human-readable output across all configured accounts and agents instead of just the default agent.
- `--json` always returns the full snapshot: channels, per-account probes, plugin load state, context-engine quarantine state, model-pricing cache state, event-loop health, and per-agent session stores.
