mod_logsession - Log session connections to file
Requirements: ejabberd 19.08 or higher
Homepage: http://www.ejabberd.im/mod_logsession
Author: Badlop
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This module is intended to log in a text file the session connections.
Right now it only logs the forbidden connection attempts and the
failed authentication attempts.
Each vhost is logged in a different file.
Note: to log the failed authentication attempts, you need to patch ejabberd.
INSTALL
-------
1 Copy this file to ejabberd/src/mod_logsession.erl
2 Recompile ejabberd
3 Add to ejabberd.yml, 'modules' section the basic configuration:
mod_logsession: {}
4 With this configuration, the log files are:
/tmp/ejabberd_logsession_@HOST@.log
CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS
-----------------------
sessionlog:
Define the name of log files.
The keyword @HOST@ will be substituted with the name of each vhost.
Default value: "/tmp/ejabberd_logsession_@HOST@.log"
EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION
---------------------
modules:
...
mod_logsession:
sessionlog: "/var/log/ejabberd/session_@HOST@.log"
...
With that configuration, if the server has three vhosts:
"localhost", "example.org" and "example.net",
then the forbidden accesses will be logged in the files:
/var/log/ejabberd/session_localhost.log
/var/log/ejabberd/session_example.org.log
/var/log/ejabberd/session_example.net.log
FORMAT OF LOG
-------------
The content of the file is the date and time of the attempted login
and the JID of the denied user.
For example:
2008-01-08 12:20:50 Forbidden session for tron@localhost/teeest
2008-01-08 12:36:01 Forbidden session for baduser@localhost/aaa22
2010-04-02 17:21:37 Failed authentication for someuser@localhost from 127.0.0.1 port 58973
2010-04-02 17:25:20 Failed authentication for badlop@localhost from 127.0.0.1 port 45842
REOPEN LOG FILES
----------------
This module provides an ejabberd command to reopen the log file
of a host where the module is enabled.
Example usage:
ejabberdctl reopen-seslog localhost
ejabberdctl reopen-seslog jabber.example.org
