misc/mtail: Start of an mtail config
Stashing it here in case anyone wants to continue working on it.
Currently it's only counting log messages by level.
Due to the permissions set by systemd on Prosody logs, mtail never
managed to start correctly until permissions were manually relaxed.

| 7 Introduction | |
| 8 ------------ | |
| 9 | |
| 10 [MQTT](http://mqtt.org/) is a lightweight binary pubsub protocol suited | |
| 11 to embedded devices. This module provides a way for MQTT clients to | |
| 12 connect to Prosody and publish or subscribe to local pubsub nodes. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Details | |
| 15 ------- | |
| 16 | |
| 17 MQTT has the concept of 'topics' (similar to XMPP's pubsub 'nodes'). | |
| 18 mod\_pubsub\_mqtt maps pubsub nodes to MQTT topics of the form | |

| 21 ### Limitations | |
| 22 | |
| 23 The current implementation is quite basic, and in particular: | |
| 24 | |
| 25 - Authentication is not supported | |
| 26 - SSL/TLS is not supported | |
| 27 - Only QoS level 0 is supported | |
| 28 | |
| 29 ### Payloads | |
| 30 | |
| 31 XMPP payloads are always XML, but MQTT does not define a payload format. | |
| 32 Therefore mod\_pubsub\_mqtt will attempt to convert data of certain | |
| 33 recognised payload types. Currently supported: | |
| 34 | |
| 35 - JSON (see [XEP-0335](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0335.html) for | |
| 36 the format) | |
| 37 - Plain UTF-8 text (wrapped inside | |
| 38 `<data xmlns="https://prosody.im/protocol/mqtt"/>`) | |
| 39 | |
| 40 All other XMPP payload types are sent to the client directly as XML. | |
| 41 Data published by MQTT clients is currently never translated, and always | |
| 42 treated as UTF-8 text. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Configuration | |
| 45 ------------- | |
| 46 | |
| 47 There is no special configuration for this module. Simply load it on | |
| 48 your pubsub host like so: | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub" | |
| 51 modules_enabled = { "pubsub_mqtt" } | |
| 52 | |
| 53 You may also configure which port(s) mod\_pubsub\_mqtt listens on using | |
| 54 Prosody's standard config directives, such as `mqtt_ports`. Network | |
| 55 settings **must** be specified in the global section of the config file, | |
| 56 not under any particular pubsub component. The default port is 1883 | |
| 57 (MQTT's standard port number). | |
