# macOS Logging
|
|
|
|
## Rolling Diagnostics File Log (Debug Pane)
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw routes macOS app logs through swift-log (unified logging by default) and can write a local, rotating file log to disk when you need a durable capture.
|
|
|
|
- **Verbosity**: Debug pane -> Logs -> App logging -> Verbosity
|
|
- **Enable**: Debug pane -> Logs -> App logging -> "Write rolling diagnostics log (JSONL)"
|
|
- **Location**: `~/Library/Logs/OpenClaw/diagnostics.jsonl` (rotates automatically; old files are suffixed with `.1`, `.2`, ...)
|
|
- **Clear**: Debug pane -> Logs -> App logging -> "Clear"
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
- This is **off by default**. Enable only while actively debugging.
|
|
- Treat the file as sensitive; don't share it without review.
|
|
|

## Unified Logging Private Data on macOS
|
|
|
|
Unified logging redacts most payloads unless a subsystem opts into `privacy -off`. This is controlled by a plist in `/Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/` keyed by the subsystem name. Only new log entries pick up the flag, so enable it before reproducing an issue.
|
|
|
|
## Enable for OpenClaw (`bot.molt`)
|
|
|
|
Write the plist to a temp file first, then install it atomically as root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat <<'EOF' >/tmp/bot.molt.plist
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
|
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
|
|
<plist version="1.0">
|
|
<dict>
|
|
<key>DEFAULT-OPTIONS</key>
|
|
<dict>
|
|
<key>Enable-Private-Data</key>
|
|
<true/>
|
|
</dict>
|
|
</dict>
|
|
</plist>
|
|
EOF
|
|
sudo install -m 644 -o root -g wheel /tmp/bot.molt.plist /Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/bot.molt.plist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- No reboot is required; logd notices the file quickly, but only new log lines will include private payloads.
|
|
- View the richer output with the existing helper, e.g. `./scripts/clawlog.sh --category WebChat --last 5m`.
|
|
|
|
## Disable After Debugging
|
|
|
|
- Remove the override: `sudo rm /Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/bot.molt.plist`
|
|
- Optionally run `sudo log config --reload` to force logd to drop the override immediately.
|
|
- Remember this surface can include phone numbers and message bodies; keep the plist in place only while you actively need the extra detail.
