Extending XMPP servers for Kosmos

The Ad-hoc commands XEP could be useful for Kosmos: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html

ejabberd

Logging message to remoteStorage

There are two modules writing logs to text files as examples:

https://github.com/processone/ejabberd-contrib/blob/master/mod_log_chat/src/mod_log_chat.erl and https://github.com/processone/ejabberd-contrib/blob/master/mod_message_log/src/mod_message_log.erl

Ad-hoc commands

Ad-hoc commands are mentioned here in the docs: https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/managing/#ad-hoc-commands


prosody

Logging message to remoteStorage

"Prosody is powered by events". It's easy to write extensions using Lua that use hooks

For example: 

-- mod_hello.lua
function on_message(event)
    module:log("info", "Received a message! Look: %s", tostring(event.stanza));
end

module:hook("message/bare", on_message);

Ad-hoc commands

Docs for writing plugins for ad-hoc commands: https://prosody.im/doc/developers/modules/mod_adhoc

And an example: https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/tip/plugins/mod_ping.lua
