3.15 Monitoring & operations
Operations view focuses on two things: the header task queue, and AI Dock token usage. One shows task progress; the other helps spot unusually expensive AI work.
Recommended order
| Step | What to check |
|---|---|
| 1 | During flash, deploy, or bulk transfer, watch the header task chips |
| 2 | Click a chip to jump back to the feature page for details |
| 3 | When AI feels slow or cost looks wrong, open token usage |
| 4 | For billing truth, rely on your model provider |
Task progress
The right side of the header lists long-running work: flashing, OpenClaw deploy, bulk file transfers, skill sync, and similar. Chips deep-link you to each feature. Finish important tasks on the page before closing the window.
Token usage
AI Dock shows approximate model usage for the current conversation or task—useful for complexity and anomaly checks. Final billing still comes from the provider console.
