misc/mtail: Start of an mtail config Stashing it here in case anyone wants to continue working on it. Currently it's only counting log messages by level. Due to the permissions set by systemd on Prosody logs, mtail never managed to start correctly until permissions were manually relaxed.

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.
