+description: Host status check
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This module allows you to monitor the state of hosts and components in your Prosody server. For example,
+it will track whether components are connected and (if the component supports it) listen for heartbeats
+sent by the component to indicate that it is functioning.
+
+This module does not expose any interface to access the status information itself. See mod\_http\_host\_status\_check
+for a module that allows you to access host status information over HTTP(S).
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+There are no configuration options for this module.
+
+You should enable it on every host that you want to monitor, by adding it to modules\_enabled. Note
+that to monitor components, adding to the global modules\_enabled list will not suffice - you will
+need to add it to the component's own modules\_enabled, like this:
+
+``` {.lua}
+Component "mycomponent.example.com"
+   modules_enabled = { "host_status_check" }
+```
+
+Compatibility
+=============
+
+Works with Prosody 0.9.x and later.
