Exporting OpenClaw Sessions and Logs | Generated by AI
Question: Can we export an OpenClaw session? Does the export command allow us to see all logs and tool calls?
Answer:
Yes, OpenClaw supports exporting sessions. Using the export functionality, you can capture a full snapshot of the session, including:
- All user and assistant messages – the conversation history is preserved.
- Tool calls – every interaction with external tools (code execution, web requests, data processing, etc.) is logged.
- Session metadata – timestamps, context state, and any other internal session details.
The exported file usually comes in a structured format (like JSON), which makes it easy to review the sequence of actions, analyze tool usage, or replay the session for debugging or auditing purposes. Many users find this extremely helpful for tracking complex workflows or verifying the behavior of AI agents across multiple steps.
This means you can not only see what was said but also which tools were invoked, with parameters and results included, giving a very transparent view of the session.
