mod_muc_log

This module was an early and obsolete way to record group chat logs.

For a modern approach, use mod_muc_mam.

For converting legacy logs stored by this module, see mod_storage_muc_log, it can be used with mod_migrate or prosody-migrator.

Introduction

This module logs the conversation of chatrooms running on the server to Prosody’s data store. To view them you will need a module such as mod_muc_log_http.

Details

mod_muc_log must be loaded individually for the components that need it. Assuming you have a MUC component already running on conference.example.org then you can add muc_log to it like so:

Component "conference.example.org" "muc"
   modules_enabled = {
      "muc_log";
   }

Logging is not enabled by default. In 0.9+ logging can be enabled per room in the room config form.

To enable logging in older versions, or to enable logging by default for all rooms, set

muc_log_by_default = true -- Log all rooms by default

Compatibility

Does not work with currently supported versions of Prosody.

Installation

With the plugin installer in Prosody 0.12 you can use:

sudo prosodyctl install --server=https://modules.prosody.im/rocks/ mod_muc_log

For earlier versions see the documentation for installing 3rd party modules
