mod_firewall: Fix 'is_admin' internal dependency rule #1797 (thanks diane) Looks like the boolean logic was inverted here. Instead, for now, simply check if is_admin is there. It is deprecated in trunk and was briefly removed before being brought back with a 'deprecated' warning as part of the new roles and permissions work. Making this dependency conditioned on the existence of the underlying function should make it work until it actually goes away for real.

summary: Host status heartbeat

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

This module integrates with [mod\_host\_status\_check] to provide heartbeats at regular intervals.

The only time you will generally want this, is if you are using [mod\_component\_client] to run Prosody as
an external component of another Prosody server that has [mod\_host\_status\_check] loaded and waiting for
heartbeats.

Alternatively you can run this on the same Prosody host as [mod\_http\_host\_status\_check] and it will simply
update a variable periodically to indicate that Prosody and timers are functional.

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

The following configuration options are supported:

```{.lua}
-- The number of seconds to wait between sending heartbeats
status_check_heartbeat_interval = 5

-- Set this to "remote" (the default) if you are using mod_component_client
-- and you want to send a heartbeat to a remote server. Otherwise
-- set it to "local" to send to mod_host_status_check on the same server.
status_check_heartbeat_mode = "remote"
```

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

Works with Prosody 0.9.x and later.
