Summary

OpenOcta is an open-source, enterprise-grade intelligent agent designed as a unified "observability & operations intelligent hub." It consolidates enterprise IT data (monitoring, logs, config, CMDB, tickets) to streamline troubleshooting, analysis, and decision-making, targeting operations and automation in headless server environments.

How It Works

Architected as a single Go binary with an embedded frontend, OpenOcta simplifies deployment and management. It integrates with existing systems via its Gateway (HTTP/WebSocket), Agent CLI, and Webhooks, while maintaining compatibility with the OpenClaw Gateway protocol. This unified approach eliminates separate frontend deployments, making it ideal for headless environments and facilitating migration from OpenClaw.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Build: Go 1.24+ (backend), Node.js >= 18 (frontend build only).
• Runtime: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required for agent commands.
• Run: make build then ./openocta gateway run. Access UI at http://127.0.0.1:18900. Development mode: make run-ui.
• Docs: Upstream OpenClaw docs at docs.openclaw.ai.

Highlighted Details

• Single Binary: Bundles backend, embedded frontend, and config templates for easy distribution.
• Unified Hub: Centralizes enterprise observability and operations data.
• OpenClaw Compatibility: Supports OpenClaw Gateway WebSocket protocol.
• Agent CLI: Enables AI-assisted operations via command line.

Maintenance & Community

Community engagement is fostered via a discussion group ("八爪鱼讨论群") for sharing practices and seeking support. Issues and feature requests can be submitted via Git repository Issues/PRs.

Licensing & Compatibility

Limitations & Caveats

The GPLv3 license restricts commercial integration without copyleft compliance. Agent functionality depends on an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Node.js is a build-time dependency only.
