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.

summary: Collect statistics on rate of log messages
...

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

If you ever wanted to collect statistics on the number of log messages,
this is the module for you!

Setup
=====

After [installing the module](https://prosody.im/doc/installing_modules)
and adding it to modules\_enabled as most other modules, you also need
to add it to your logging config:

``` {.lua}
log = {
  -- your other log sinks
  info = "/var/log/prosody/prosody.log"
  -- add this:
  { to = "measure" };
}
```

Then log messages will be counted by
[statsmanager](https://prosody.im/doc/developers/core/statsmanager).

Compatibility
=============

Reqires Prosody 0.10 or above.
