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: HTTP Host Status Check
...

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

This module exposes serves over HTTP the information collected by [mod\_host\_status\_check] and
[mod\_host\_status\_heartbeat] in a convenient format for automated monitoring tools.

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

[mod\_http\_status\_check] relies on Prosodys HTTP server and mod\_http for
serving HTTP requests. See [Prosodys HTTP server
documentation][doc:http] for information about how to
configure ports, HTTP Host names etc.

Simply add this module to modules\_enabled for the host you would like to serve it from.

There is a single configuration option:

``` {.lua}
    -- The maximum number of seconds that a host can go without sending a heartbeat,
    -- before we mark it as TIMEOUT (default: 5)
    status_check_heartbeat_threshold = 5;
```

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

Works with Prosody 0.9.x and later.
