# Prosody stanzas Is a plugin for the monitoring software [Munin](http://munin-monitoring.org) to monitor a [Prosody](http://prosody.im) XMPP server. The plugins monitors Prosody stanzas. Here's an example how how this plugin works: [Prosody stanza statistics for jabber.hot-chilli.net](https://www.hot-chilli.net/munin/hot-chilli.net/tethys.hot-chilli.net/prosody_stanzas.html) ## Installation and configuration It is very simple to install this plugin. Copy *prosody_stanzas* into */usr/share/munin/plugins* (we suggest a different own directory), chmod and create symlink: ``` chmod 755 /usr/share/munin/plugins/prosody_stanzas ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/prosody_stanzas /etc/munin/plugins/prosody_stanzas ``` If not already there for other Prosody plugins create a file */etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/prosody* (we don't want change the standard file */etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node* as future updates might want to undo the changes) and put the following into it: ``` [prosody_*] user prosody group prosody ``` Now you need to restart munin-node: `/etc/init.d/munin-node restart` That's it. Enjoy!
