🔄 Migration Guide

If you have an existing maintenance system, follow this safe migration plan:

Phase 1: Parallel Run (1 week)

Install new system alongside old system
Both systems run simultaneously
Compare outputs and verify functionality

Phase 2: Function Verification

Test all new scripts
Verify automatic recovery
Check log generation

Phase 3: Switch to Main

Make new system the primary
Comment out old cron jobs
Monitor for 1 week

Phase 4: Cleanup

Archive old scripts
Update documentation
Final status report

Detailed migration guide: examples/migration-guide.md

📊 Health Scoring System

The weekly optimization script includes an automatic health scoring system:

Scoring Factors (0-100 points)

Gateway Status (-30 if not running)
Error Count (-10-20 if too many errors)
Restart Frequency (-8-15 if frequent restarts)
Disk Space (-10-20 if low disk space)

Report Generation

Executive Summary - Health score and key metrics
Detailed Analysis - System status by category
Recommendations - Actionable optimization suggestions

🛡️ Safety and Backup

Complete Backup System

Full system backup before any major operation
Crontab backup before changes
Script backup for version control

One-Click Rollback

# Restore from backup
cd ~/openclaw-migration-backup/phase3-switch-<timestamp>/
./rollback.sh

Error Handling

Graceful failure - Scripts fail safely
Detailed logging - Complete execution records
Automatic recovery - Critical services auto-restart

🔍 Troubleshooting

Quick Diagnostics

# Check if scripts are running
ps aux | grep -E "(real-time|log-management|daily-maintenance|weekly-optimization)"

# View recent logs
tail -f /tmp/openclaw-new-*.log

# Test Gateway connectivity
curl -s http://localhost:18789/ | grep -i openclaw || echo "Gateway may be down"

Common Issues & Solutions

❌ Gateway Not Detected

# Check if Gateway is actually running
ps aux | grep openclaw-gateway

# Manual start if needed
openclaw gateway start

# Update script detection (if on macOS)
# The scripts already include macOS-compatible detection

❌ Cron Jobs Not Executing

# Verify crontab
crontab -l

# Check cron service
sudo launchctl list | grep cron

# Test script manually
bash ~/.openclaw/maintenance/scripts/real-time-monitor.sh

❌ Permission Denied

# Make all scripts executable
chmod +x ~/.openclaw/maintenance/scripts/*.sh

# Check ownership
ls -la ~/.openclaw/maintenance/scripts/
