mod_ping_muc: Delay ping a configurable amount of time If a server is restarting, checking immediately before it has a chance to complete its restart and get ready would often fail, preventing the possibility of transparent restarts as supported by Prosody's mod_muc. Reconnecting immediately when a connection is closed for being idle, or because the remote server is trying to reclaim some resources, is also counter-productive as the connection may fail. Also, if there is some Internet routing problem affecting s2s, it may help to wait a bit before checking, in case the problem resolved itself in the mean time.

    Warn admins about outgoing s2s connections that are refused due to
    invalid or untrusted certificates
...

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

Similar to mod\_watchregistrations, this module warns admins when an s2s
connection fails due for encryption or trust reasons.

The certificate shows the SHA1 hash, so it can easily be used together
with mod\_s2s\_auth\_fingerprint.

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

    modules_enabled = {
        -- other modules --
        "watchuntrusted",

    }

    untrusted_fail_watchers = { "admin@example.lit" }
    untrusted_fail_notification = "Establishing a secure connection from $from_host to $to_host failed. Certificate hash: $sha1. $errors"

  Option                          Default                                                                                                         Description
  ------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  untrusted\_fail\_watchers       All admins                                                                                                      The users to send the message to
  untrusted\_fail\_notification   "Establishing a secure connection from \$from\_host to \$to\_host failed. Certificate hash: \$sha1. \$errors"   The message to send, \$from\_host, \$to\_host, \$sha1 and \$errors are replaced
  untrusted\_message\_type        `"chat"`                                                                                                        Which kind of message to send. `"normal"` or `"headline"` are other sensible options
  untrusted\_ignore\_domains      Empty                                                                                                           The domains that this module should not warn about
