mod_http_host_status_check/README.markdown @ 5931:d194d1012fd3

Updating dox for mod_rest. Ideas expressed / clarified: 1) Making clear that mod_rest isn't to be installed under VirtualHosts AND as a component. 2) Understanding some of the implications of this choice: A) Changes to user authentication B) How it affects subdomains 3) More consistent use of domain names for clarity. 4) Using different heading sizes to show scope of section. Essentially, I added all the tidbits I had to clarify in getting this to work in my own example.

summary: HTTP Host Status Check
...

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

This module exposes serves over HTTP the information collected by [mod\_host\_status\_check] and
[mod\_host\_status\_heartbeat] in a convenient format for automated monitoring tools.

Configuration
=============

[mod\_http\_status\_check] relies on Prosodys HTTP server and mod\_http for
serving HTTP requests. See [Prosodys HTTP server
documentation][doc:http] for information about how to
configure ports, HTTP Host names etc.

Simply add this module to modules\_enabled for the host you would like to serve it from.

There is a single configuration option:

``` {.lua}
    -- The maximum number of seconds that a host can go without sending a heartbeat,
    -- before we mark it as TIMEOUT (default: 5)
    status_check_heartbeat_threshold = 5;
```

Compatibility
=============

Works with Prosody 0.9.x and later.
