# `openclaw sessions`
|
|
|
|
List stored conversation sessions.
|
|
|
|
Session lists are not channel/provider liveness checks. They show persisted
|
|
conversation rows from the per-agent SQLite databases. A quiet Discord, Slack,
|
|
Telegram, or other channel can reconnect successfully without creating a new
|
|
session row until a message is processed. Use `openclaw channels status
|
|
--probe`, `openclaw status --deep`, or `openclaw health --verbose` when you need
|
|
live channel connectivity.
|
|
|
|
`openclaw sessions` and Gateway `sessions.list` responses are bounded by
|
|
default so large long-lived databases cannot monopolize the CLI process or
|
|
Gateway event loop. The CLI returns the newest 100 sessions by default; pass
|
|
`--limit <n>` for a smaller/larger window or `--limit all` when you intentionally
|
|
need the full store. JSON responses include `totalCount`, `limitApplied`, and
|
|
`hasMore` when callers need to show that more rows exist.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw sessions
|
|
openclaw sessions --agent work
|
|
openclaw sessions --all-agents
|
|
openclaw sessions --active 120
|
|
openclaw sessions --limit 25
|
|
openclaw sessions --verbose
|
|
openclaw sessions --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Scope selection:
|
|
|
|
- default: configured default agent database
|
|
- `--verbose`: verbose logging
|
|
- `--agent <id>`: one configured agent database
|
|
- `--all-agents`: aggregate all configured agent databases
|
|
|
|
Canonical per-agent session rows live in `openclaw-agent.sqlite` under each
|
|
agent. Existing `sessions.json` indexes are imported by the `openclaw doctor`
|
|
fix mode, then removed after SQLite has the rows. Gateway startup does not
|
|
import or rewrite legacy session indexes; run doctor when you intentionally want
|
|
that migration.
|
|
|
|
- `--limit <n|all>`: max rows to output (default `100`; `all` restores full output)
|
|
|
|
Export a trajectory bundle for a stored session:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw sessions export-trajectory --session-key "agent:main:telegram:direct:123" --workspace .
|
|
openclaw sessions export-trajectory --session-key "agent:main:telegram:direct:123" --output bug-123 --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the command path used by the `/export-trajectory` slash command after
|
|
the owner approves the exec request. The output directory is always resolved
|
|
inside `.openclaw/trajectory-exports/` under the selected workspace.
|
|
|
|
`openclaw sessions --all-agents` reads configured agent databases plus
|
|
registered agent databases. Legacy `sessions.json` files are migration inputs
|
|
only and should disappear after doctor imports them.
|
|
|
|
JSON examples:
|
|
|
|
`openclaw sessions --all-agents --json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"databasePath": null,
|
|
"databases": [
|
|
{ "agentId": "main", "path": "/home/user/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite" },
|
|
{ "agentId": "work", "path": "/home/user/.openclaw/agents/work/agent/openclaw-agent.sqlite" }
|
|
],
|
|
"allAgents": true,
|
|
"count": 2,
|
|
"totalCount": 2,
|
|
"limitApplied": 100,
|
|
"hasMore": false,
|
|
"activeMinutes": null,
|
|
"sessions": [
|
|
{ "agentId": "main", "key": "agent:main:main", "model": "gpt-5" },
|
|
{ "agentId": "work", "key": "agent:work:main", "model": "claude-opus-4-6" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Repair
|
|
|
|
Legacy JSON import belongs to `openclaw doctor --fix`. Runtime commands do not
|
|
prune, cap, import, or rewrite session databases. If doctor reports session rows
|
|
whose transcript events are missing, rerun doctor to import any remaining legacy
|
|
sources; if the source transcript is gone, reset or delete the affected session
|
|
explicitly.
