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.

Simple module adding an endpoint meant to be used for health checks. # Configuration After installing, enable by adding to [`modules_enabled`][doc:modules_enabled] like many other modules: ``` lua -- in the global section modules_enabled = { -- Other globally enabled modules here... "http_health"; -- add } ``` # Details Adds a `http://your.prosody.example:5280/health` endpoint that returns either HTTP status code 200 when all appears to be good or 500 when any module [status][doc:developers:moduleapi#logging-and-status] has been set to `error`. # See also - [mod_measure_modules] provides module statues via OpenMetrics - [mod_http_status] provides all module status details as JSON via HTTP
