mod_rest: Add special handling to catch MAM results from remote hosts Makes MAM queries to remote hosts works. As the comment says, MAM results from users' local archives or local MUCs are returned via origin.send() which is provided in the event and thus already worked. Results from remote hosts go via normal stanza routing and events, which need this extra handling to catch. This pattern of iq-set, message+, iq-result is generally limited to MAM. Closest similar thing might be MUC join, but to really handle that you would need the webhook callback mechanism.

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

This module calculates the number of daily, weekly and monthly active users -
often abbreviated as DAU, WAU and MAU.

These metrics are more accurate for determining how many people are actually
using a service. For example simply counting registered accounts will typically
include many dormant accounts that aren't really being used. Many servers also
track the number of connected users. This is a useful metric for many purposes,
but it is generally lower than the actual number of users - because some users
may only connect at certain times of day.

The module defines "activity" as any login/logout event during the time period,
and for this it depends on mod_lastlog2 being loaded (it reads the data stored
by mod_lastlog2). Each individual user is only counted once.

"Daily" means any event within the past 24 hours, "weekly" means within the
past 7 days, and "monthly" means within the past 30 days.

Details
=======

The user count is calculated shortly after startup, and then recalculated
hourly after that.

Metrics are exported using Prosody's built-in statistics API.

There is no configuration for this module.

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

Requires Prosody 0.11 or later with mod_lastlog2 enabled.
