mod_message_log - Log one line per message transmission

• Author: Holger Weiss holger@zedat.fu-berlin.de

Description

This module writes a line for each sent or received message to a log file. Each line mentions the sender's JID and the recipient's JID, and also the message type (e.g., "normal", "chat", or "groupchat"). Carbon copies are marked as such. The log lines look similar to this one:

2014-05-25 11:55:04 [outgoing, normal] dan@example.com/Foo -> eve@example.net/Bar

After log rotation, you can execute the following command in order to tell mod_message_log to reopen the log file:

ejabberdctl reopen_log

Configuration

• filename

  Define the filename and path to store the log. If the filename option is set to auto, it will be set to the default ejabberd log path, with the file name "message.log". The filename option takes as default value auto.
