mod_measure_modules: Report module statuses via OpenMetrics Someone in the chat asked about a health check endpoint, which reminded me of mod_http_status, which provides access to module statuses with full details. After that, this idea came about, which seems natural. As noted in the README, it could be used to monitor that critical modules are in fact loaded correctly. As more modules use the status API, the more useful this module and mod_http_status becomes.

summary: HTTP module returning info about requests for debugging
---

This module returns some info about HTTP requests as Prosody sees them
from an endpoint like `http://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug`.  This can be
used to validate [reverse-proxy configuration][doc:http] and similar use
cases.

# Example

```
$ curl -sSf  https://xmpp.example.net:5281/debug | json_pp
{
   "body" : "",
   "headers" : {
      "accept" : "*/*",
      "host" : "xmpp.example.net:5281",
      "user_agent" : "curl/7.74.0"
   },
   "httpversion" : "1.1",
   "id" : "jmFROQKoduU3",
   "ip" : "127.0.0.1",
   "method" : "GET",
   "path" : "/debug",
   "secure" : true,
   "url" : {
      "path" : "/debug"
   }
}
```

# Configuration

HTTP Methods handled can be configured via the `http_debug_methods`
setting. By default, the most common methods are already enabled.

```lua
http_debug_methods = { "GET"; "HEAD"; "DELETE"; "OPTIONS"; "PATCH"; "POST"; "PUT" };
```
