Channel troubleshooting

Start with:

openclaw doctor
openclaw channels status --probe

channels status --probe prints warnings when it can detect common channel misconfigurations, and includes small live checks (credentials, some permissions/membership).

Channels

Telegram quick fixes

  • Logs show HttpError: Network request for 'sendMessage' failed or sendChatAction → check IPv6 DNS. If api.telegram.org resolves to IPv6 first and the host lacks IPv6 egress, force IPv4 or enable IPv6. See /channels/telegram#troubleshooting.
  • Logs show setMyCommands failed → check outbound HTTPS and DNS reachability to api.telegram.org (common on locked-down VPS or proxies).
