+summary: Log warning when event handlers take too long
+...
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Most activities in Prosody take place within our built-in events framework, for
+example stanza processing and HTTP request handling, authentication, etc.
+
+Modules are able to execute code when an event occurs, and they should return
+as quickly as possible. Poor performance (e.g. slow or laggy server) can be caused
+by event handlers that are slow to respond.
+
+This module is able to monitor how long each event takes to be processed, and
+logs a warning if an event takes above a certain amount of time, including
+providing any details about the event such as the user or stanza that triggered it.
+
+The aim is to help debug why a server may not be as responsive as it should be,
+and ultimately which module is to blame for that.
+
+Configuration
+======================
+
+There is a single configuration option:
+
+```
+   -- Set the number of seconds an event may take before
+   -- logging a warning (fractional values are ok)
+   log_slow_events_threshold = 0.5
+```
+
+Metrics
+=======
+
+In addition to the log messages, a new 'slow_events' metric will be exported to
+your configured stats backend (if any).
