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.

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

This module provides a basic web administration interface. It currently
gives you access to Ad-Hoc commands on any virtual host or component
that you are set as an administrator for in the Prosody config file. It
also provides a live list of all S2S and C2S connections.

Installation
============

1.  Copy the admin\_web directory into a directory Prosody will check
    for plugins. (cf. [Installing
    modules](http://prosody.im/doc/installing_modules))
2.  Execute the contained `get_deps.sh` script from within the admin\_web
    directory. (Requires wget, tar, and a basic shell)

Configuration Details
=====================

"admin\_web" needs to be added to the modules\_enabled table of the host
you want to load this module on.

By default the interface will then be reachable under
`http://example.com:5280/admin`, or `https://example.com:5281/admin`.

The module will automatically enable two other modules if they aren't
already: mod\_bosh (used to connect to the server from the web), and
mod\_admin\_adhoc (which provides admin commands over XMPP).

    VirtualHost "example.com"
       modules_enabled = {
           .....
           "admin_web";
           .....
       }
