mod_http_admin_api: Ensure freshness of metrics when in manual mode When in manual collection mode, as recommended for Prometheus, collection needs to be triggered manually, or they would be stale, possibly dating from the start of the server. This might vary per metric depending on how and when the metrics are gathered.

# Introduction

This module writes out a traceback to a file when a chosen signal (by default
`SIGUSR1`) is received. It can be useful to diagnose cases where Prosody is
unresponsive.

# Configuration

`debug_traceback_filename`
:   The name of the file to write the traceback to. Some variables
    are supported, see [mod_log_ringbuffer] docs for more info. Defaults
    to `{paths.data}/traceback-{pid}-{count}.log`.

`debug_traceback_signal`
:   The name of the signal to listen for. Defaults to `SIGUSR1`.

# Compatibility

Prosody 0.11 or later.
