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: Server status plugin
...

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

This module fetches the current status of configured hosts and/or stanza
statistics from
[mod\_stanza\_counter](http://code.google.com/p/prosody-modules/wiki/mod_stanza_counter#).
And outputs it in either XML or JSON format.

Usage
=====

Copy the file into prosody's module directory and place it into your
global's enabled modules.

Configuration example:

    server_status_basepath = "/server-info/"
    server_status_show_hosts = { "iwanttoshowifthishostisonline.com", "iwanttoshowifthishostisonline2.com" }
    server_status_show_comps = { "muc.iwanttoshowifthishostisonline.com", "transport.iwanttoshowifthishostisonline.com" }
    server_status_json = true

By default the plugin's output is in XML, setting server\_status\_json
to "true" will turn it into JSON instead. if mod\_stanza\_counter isn't
loaded the plugin will require at least either
server\_status\_show\_hosts or server\_status\_show\_comps to be set.

Info
====

-   This is only compatible with 0.9 for older versions please look at
    the 0.8-diverge branch.
