high confidencePurpose & Capability
The package purpose is diagnostics OpenTelemetry export, and the code registers a diagnostics-otel service that converts OpenClaw diagnostic events into traces, metrics, and optionally logs.
Instruction Scope
The plugin activates on startup, but export behavior is gated by the host diagnostics configuration and otel.enabled; optional content capture is explicitly configuration-controlled and defaults to disabled.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is an official @openclaw package with a source-linked release, a normal npm package layout, pinned OpenTelemetry dependencies, and no install or lifecycle scripts in package metadata or shrinkwrap.
Credentials
It reads OTEL environment variables and optional certificate/key file paths for OTLP TLS/proxy setup, then exports only to configured OTLP endpoints or stdout, which is proportionate for an observability exporter.
Persistence & Privilege
It installs a startup service and keeps in-memory spans/timers while running, but there is no evidence of file persistence, privilege escalation, shell execution, destructive actions, or credential/session harvesting outside OTLP certificate configuration.
Scan Findings in Context
[SkillSpector] expected: No SkillSpector findings were supplied.
[VirusTotal] expected: VirusTotal telemetry reported 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections across 62 engines.
[StaticScan] expected: Static scan reported clean with no suspicious patterns, and manual artifact review found the network and file access aligned with OpenTelemetry export configuration.
Assessment
Install only if you want Gateway diagnostics sent to an observability pipeline. Configure the OTLP endpoint, headers, proxy, and certificate paths deliberately, and enable content capture only when the collector is trusted because it can include prompts, tool inputs, outputs, or log bodies when explicitly turned on.Verification

@openclaw/diagnostics-otel
Official OpenTelemetry diagnostics exporter for OpenClaw.
This plugin exports OpenClaw Gateway traces, metrics, and logs to an OTLP collector for observability stacks such as Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb, New Relic, Tempo, and compatible collectors. It can also write diagnostic log records as stdout JSONL for container log pipelines.
Install
openclaw plugins install @openclaw/diagnostics-otel
Restart the Gateway after installing or updating the plugin.
Configure
Enable the plugin and set the OTLP endpoint in plugins.entries.diagnostics-otel.config.
