mod_measure_modules: Report module statuses via OpenMetrics Someone in the chat asked about a health check endpoint, which reminded me of mod_http_status, which provides access to module statuses with full details. After that, this idea came about, which seems natural. As noted in the README, it could be used to monitor that critical modules are in fact loaded correctly. As more modules use the status API, the more useful this module and mod_http_status becomes.

summary: 'Module for testing ad-hoc commands and dataforms rendering'
---

# Introduction

This module provides [Ad-Hoc commands][xep0050] for testing [data
form][xep0004] that includes all kinds of fields. It's meant to help
debug both Prosodys
[`util.dataforms`][doc:developers:util:dataforms] library and
clients, eg seeing how various field types are rendered.

# Configuration

Simply add it to [`modules_enabled`][doc:modules_enabled] like any
other module.

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    -- All your other modules etc
    "adhoc_dataforms_demo";
}
```

# Usage

In your Ad-Hoc capable client, first look for "Execute command". You
should see a form with various kinds of fields.

Dataforms Demo
:   A simple command that provides a dataform with every possible field
    type, suitable for testing rending of dataforms.

Multi-step command demo
:   A command that has multiple steps, suitable for testing back and
    forwards navigation.
