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 improving the life of bot authors --- This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room. All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the rest. # Configuration Example configuration in Prosody: ```lua Component "muc.example.com" "muc" modules_enabled = { "muc_bot", } known_bots = { "bot@example.com" } bots_get_messages = false ignore_bot_errors = true ``` # Sending messages Simply send a stanza like this from your bot: ```xml <message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com"> <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body> <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick> </message> ``` ## Use with mod_rest Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well! ```bash curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \ -d body="beep boop" \ -d nick="Botty" ``` # Compatibility Works with Prosody 0.12 or later.
