mod_http_status/README.md @ 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.

Prosody 0.12 added an API allowing modules to report their status. This
module allows reading these statuses via HTTP for use in monitoring.

```
$ curl http://prosody.localhost:5280/status
{
   "example.com" : {
      "c2s" : {
         "message" : "Loaded",
         "type" : "core"
      }
   }
}
```

# Configuration


By default only access via localhost is allowed. This can be adjusted with `http_status_allow_ips`. The following example shows the default:

```
http_status_allow_ips = { "::1"; "127.0.0.1" }
```

Access can also be granted to one IP range via CIDR notation:

```
http_status_allow_cidr = "172.17.2.0/24"
```

The default for `http_status_allow_cidr` is empty.
