mod_http_admin_api: Ensure freshness of metrics when in manual mode When in manual collection mode, as recommended for Prometheus, collection needs to be triggered manually, or they would be stale, possibly dating from the start of the server. This might vary per metric depending on how and when the metrics are gathered.

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

This module provides a basic web administration interface. It currently
gives you access to Ad-Hoc commands on any virtual host or component
that you are set as an administrator for in the Prosody config file. It
also provides a live list of all S2S and C2S connections.

Installation
============

1.  Copy the admin\_web directory into a directory Prosody will check
    for plugins. (cf. [Installing
    modules](http://prosody.im/doc/installing_modules))
2.  Execute the contained `get_deps.sh` script from within the admin\_web
    directory. (Requires wget, tar, and a basic shell)

Configuration Details
=====================

"admin\_web" needs to be added to the modules\_enabled table of the host
you want to load this module on.

By default the interface will then be reachable under
`http://example.com:5280/admin`, or `https://example.com:5281/admin`.

The module will automatically enable two other modules if they aren't
already: mod\_bosh (used to connect to the server from the web), and
mod\_admin\_adhoc (which provides admin commands over XMPP).

    VirtualHost "example.com"
       modules_enabled = {
           .....
           "admin_web";
           .....
       }
