mod_http_oauth2: Strip unknown extra fields from client registration We shouldn't sign things we don't understand! RFC 7591 section-2 states: > The authorization server MUST ignore any client metadata sent by the > client that it does not understand (for instance, by silently removing > unknown metadata from the client's registration record during > processing). Prevents grandfathering in of unvalidated data that might become used later, especially since the 'additionalProperties' schema keyword was removed in 698fef74ce53

summary: Log warning when event handlers take too long
...

Introduction
============

Most activities in Prosody take place within our built-in events framework, for
example stanza processing and HTTP request handling, authentication, etc.

Modules are able to execute code when an event occurs, and they should return
as quickly as possible. Poor performance (e.g. slow or laggy server) can be caused
by event handlers that are slow to respond.

This module is able to monitor how long each event takes to be processed, and
logs a warning if an event takes above a certain amount of time, including
providing any details about the event such as the user or stanza that triggered it.

The aim is to help debug why a server may not be as responsive as it should be,
and ultimately which module is to blame for that.

Configuration
======================

There is a single configuration option:

```
   -- Set the number of seconds an event may take before
   -- logging a warning (fractional values are ok)
   log_slow_events_threshold = 0.5
```

Metrics
=======

In addition to the log messages, a new 'slow_events' metric will be exported to
your configured stats backend (if any).
