lulu-monitor
LuLu Monitor watches LuLu firewall alerts, analyzes connections with an AI, and sends Telegram notifications with action buttons that apply rules to LuLu. The installer runs shell scripts (bash scripts/install.sh, git clone https://github.com/EasonC13-agent/lulu-monitor.git), writes ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.openclaw.lulu-monitor.plist and files under ~/.openclaw/lulu-monitor, and calls http://127.0.0.1:4441/status.
LuLu Monitor
AI-powered companion for LuLu Firewall on macOS.
What It Does
- Monitors LuLu firewall alert popups
- Extracts connection info (process, IP, port, DNS)
- Spawns a fast AI (haiku) to analyze the connection
- Sends Telegram notification with risk assessment
- Provides 4 action buttons: Always Allow, Allow Once, Always Block, Block Once
- Executes the action on LuLu when user taps a button
Auto-Execute Mode (Optional)
For reduced interruptions, enable auto-execute mode. When the AI has high confidence (known safe programs like curl, brew, node, git connecting to normal destinations), it will:
- Automatically execute the Allow action
- Still send a Telegram notification explaining what was auto-allowed
To enable:
# Create config.json in install directory
cat > ~/.openclaw/lulu-monitor/config.json << 'EOF'
{
"telegramId": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID",
"autoExecute": true,
"autoExecuteAction": "allow-once"
}
EOF
Options:
autoExecute:false(default) - all alerts require manual button pressautoExecuteAction:"allow-once"(default, conservative) or"allow"(permanent rule)
Installation
Prerequisites
Run the check script first:
bash scripts/check-prerequisites.sh
Required:
- LuLu Firewall:
brew install --cask lulu - Node.js:
brew install node - OpenClaw Gateway: Running with Telegram channel configured
- Accessibility Permission: System Settings > Privacy > Accessibility > Enable Terminal/osascript
Install
bash scripts/install.sh
This will:
- Clone the repo to
~/.openclaw/lulu-monitor/ - Install npm dependencies
- Set up launchd for auto-start
- Start the service
Verify
curl http://127.0.0.1:4441/status
Should return {"running":true,...}
Handling Callbacks
When user clicks a Telegram button, OpenClaw receives a callback like:
callback_data: lulu:allow
callback_data: lulu:allow-once
callback_data: lulu:block
callback_data: lulu:block-once
To handle it, call the local endpoint:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4441/callback \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"action":"allow"}' # or "block", "allow-once", "block-once"
This will:
- Click the appropriate button on LuLu alert
- Set Rule Scope to "endpoint"
- Set Rule Duration to "Always" or "Process lifetime"
- Edit the Telegram message to show result
Troubleshooting
Service not running
# Check status
launchctl list | grep lulu-monitor
# View logs
tail -f ~/.openclaw/lulu-monitor/logs/stdout.log
# Restart
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.openclaw.lulu-monitor.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.openclaw.lulu-monitor.plist
Accessibility permission issues
AppleScript needs permission to control LuLu. Go to: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility Enable: Terminal, iTerm, or whatever terminal you use
Alert not detected
- Ensure LuLu is running:
pgrep -x LuLu - Check if alert window exists:
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "LuLu" to get every window'
Uninstall
bash ~/.openclaw/lulu-monitor/skill/scripts/uninstall.sh
