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 largely duplicates the functionality of the standard
mod\_announce that is included with Prosody. It was developed for
compatibility with some clients (e.g. iChat) that do not support ad-hoc
commands or sending to JIDs with the format
'example.com/announce/online'.

It may also be useful in other specific cases.

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

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"

By default, only server admins are allowed to post to this address. You
can override this, by specifying the 'broadcast\_senders' option:

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"
        broadcast_senders = { "user1@example.com", "user2@example.com" }

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

  ------ -------
  0.9    Works
  0.10   Works
  trunk  Doesn't work (uses is_admin)
  ------ -------
