summary: Log chatroom messages to disk

...

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](mod_muc_log_http.html).

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
