# View Sandbox Status

> List NemoClaw sandboxes, check their health, inspect logs, and collect diagnostics.

Use these commands to inspect registered sandboxes and collect evidence before changing a sandbox.

Use this guide after you finish the [OpenClaw quickstart](../../get-started/quickstart).

## List Sandboxes

List every sandbox registered on this host:

```bash
nemoclaw list
```

The list shows each sandbox's model, provider, policy presets, and active SSH session indicator.
It also shows the dashboard URL when NemoClaw records a dashboard port.
Use JSON output for scripts:

```bash
nemoclaw list --json
```

## Check Sandbox Health

Check a specific sandbox's health, inference route, active connections, live policy, and update status:
For messaging agents, the command also reports messaging-channel overlap warnings.

```bash
nemoclaw my-assistant status
```

Use the host-level status command when you want the sandbox inventory plus host auxiliary service state, such as cloudflared:

```bash
nemoclaw status
```

## Inspect Logs

View recent sandbox logs:

```bash
nemoclaw my-assistant logs
```

Stream logs while you reproduce a problem:

```bash
nemoclaw my-assistant logs --follow
```

The log command reads both OpenClaw gateway output and OpenShell audit events, so policy denials appear beside gateway logs.

## Collect Diagnostics

Collect diagnostics for bug reports or support handoff:

```bash
nemoclaw debug --sandbox my-assistant --output nemoclaw-debug.tar.gz
```

Use `--quick` for a smaller local summary:

```bash
nemoclaw debug --quick --sandbox my-assistant
```

The debug command gathers system information, Docker state, sandbox logs, and sandbox status.
