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: Automatically reload modules with the config
...

Introduction
------------

By default Prosody does not reload modules at runtime unless instructed
to via one of its admin interfaces. However sometimes you want to easily
reload a module to apply new settings when the config changes.

mod\_reload\_modules will reload a set list of modules every time
Prosody reloads its config (e.g. on SIGHUP).

Configuration
-------------

Add "reload\_modules" to modules\_enabled. Then the list of modules to
reload using the 'reload\_modules' option in your config like so:

    reload_modules = { "groups", "tls" }

This would reload mod\_groups and mod\_tls whenever the config is
reloaded. Note that on many systems this will be at least daily, due to
logrotate.

Compatibility
