Requirements and responsibilities
Record the last successful response time, affected channel, exact failed request and whether another operator can reach Status. Avoid including tokens or private message content in shared logs.

Illustrative situation
Illustrative scenario: the approved Telegram user sent a harmless question but received no answer after a previously successful chat.
Choose the approach
Inspect service state first, then compare provider and channel paths. A healthy VM does not prove the model or Telegram path works.

Dashboard and application procedure
Follow these steps yourself, or use the scoped AI handoff below for supported hosting operations.
Step 1 of 5
Capture one failed event
- Where
- Approved Telegram conversation
- Permissions
- Authorized OpenClaw owner or application administrator
- Inputs
- Message time, sender and harmless nonce
- Action
- Send one harmless nonce request from the approved Telegram account, record the exact local time and bot handle, and avoid a burst of retries.
- Expected result
- A single event can be correlated with dashboard evidence.
- Verify
- Confirm the approved sender and bot identity.
- If it fails
- If the sender changed, recheck channel access before investigating host health.

Step 2 of 5
Check hosted state
- Where
- xCloud OpenClaw → Status
- Permissions
- Authorized OpenClaw owner or application administrator
- Inputs
- Named server and event time
- Action
- Read current status and URL without changing settings. Compare with the last known operational state.
- Expected result
- The host state is classified as available or unavailable.
- Verify
- Record the observed status and timestamp.
- If it fails
- If provisioning or host state failed, address that before changing provider or bot token.

Step 3 of 5
Read the relevant log window
- Where
- xCloud OpenClaw → Logs
- Permissions
- Authorized OpenClaw owner or application administrator
- Inputs
- Event time and request nonce
- Action
- Inspect app logs around the failed message for provider authentication, channel or gateway errors; redact secrets from any excerpt.
- Expected result
- A likely failure layer is identified or logged as unknown.
- Verify
- Tie a log entry to the event time rather than guessing from old errors.
- If it fails
- If no matching event appears, validate bot and sender routing before altering the model.

Step 4 of 5
Test an independent path
- Where
- Private Control UI when approved
- Permissions
- Authorized OpenClaw owner or application administrator
- Inputs
- Same harmless nonce and current provider
- Action
- If UI access is enabled and authorized, send the same bounded prompt there. Compare response with the Telegram event.
- Expected result
- The comparison separates provider failure from channel delivery failure.
- Verify
- Record which path responded and which failed.
- If it fails
- If neither path responds, inspect provider settings and service state; if only Telegram fails, inspect Channels.

Step 5 of 5
Make one targeted correction
- Where
- xCloud Providers or Channels as indicated
- Permissions
- Authorized OpenClaw owner or application administrator
- Inputs
- Known-good credential or bot setting and owner
- Action
- Have the responsible owner change only the implicated setting, then repeat the same nonce and inspect fresh logs.
- Expected result
- The failed path responds and no new error appears.
- Verify
- Match new response and log time to the correction.
- If it fails
- If evidence stays ambiguous, preserve current state and request product support before reset.

Maintenance
For the next observed failed reply, log one event time and nonce, then compare Status and the relevant Logs window before repeating a targeted correction.
Recovery decisions
If the fault returns, undo only the last targeted provider or channel change when its prior setting is known. Preserve logs and current records for support; do not use Reset as first-line diagnosis.

AI handoff
Use the named xCloud dashboard for hosted controls and verify application tools in the deployed OpenClaw version before use. An xCloud hosting MCP write operation for these actions is not documented.
Supported scope
- Configure an OpenClaw application behavior app · manual
Upstream OpenClaw documentation describes application features. xCloud does not document every app configuration surface or pre-enabled tool. Verify the feature and permissions in the deployed build before editing.
Checkpoint: Use a harmless positive and negative test; preserve current configuration and stop if the feature is unavailable.
How to Deploy OpenClaw with xCloud · OpenClaw security and access control
- Inspect and manage the hosted OpenClaw service dashboard · manual
Use only controls visible for this managed OpenClaw server. Creation, provider, channel, UI, updates and logs are separate xCloud dashboard actions; no OpenClaw hosting MCP write operation is documented.
Checkpoint: Confirm the exact server, selected control and effect before changing it; inspect resulting status and a bounded chat.
Copyable agent brief
Manual checkpoints
- The operator reads xCloud Status and Logs around the failed event.
- The responsible owner changes only the implicated provider or Telegram setting and checks the new event.
Feature coverage
- task setup and decision (covered): Defines prerequisites and an explicit hosted/application handoff. Capture one failed event Check hosted state
- task acceptance and failure (covered): A repeated harmless nonce succeeds on the affected path and the matching log window no longer shows its prior error. Failure: A host, provider or channel error remains unresolved, or the only proposed fix is an unreviewed destructive reset.
