Name: mod_log_chat Purpose: Log 2 ways chat messages in files Author: Jérôme Sautret (jsautret) Type: Module Requirements: ejabberd 2.0.0 or newer. To use with ejabberd 1.1.x read bellow Download: ejabberd-modules
mod_log_chat is a ejabberd module aimed at logging chat messages in text files. mod_log_chat create one file per couple of chatters and per day (it doesn't log muc messages, use mod_muc_log for this).
It can store messages in plain text or HTML format.
This module can be used with ejabberd 1.1.x if you delete all the lines that say '?DEBUG(...)'
Alternatively, there is an experimental fork for MySQL5, see mod_log_chat_mysql5.
mod_log_chat - log chat
I have compiled mod_log_chat.erl copied it to the target directory with *.beam for ejabberd. Added to ejabberd.yml
mod_log_chat:path: "/var/log/ejabberd/chat"
format: html
but still have next problem^

performance
Hi there! Just want to ask how this module performs? Say, >50,000 users chatting? How disk heavy would this be at that scale?
Also, is there a config to set an expiry date for the files? Thanks.
nvm
Changed my mind, I'm gonna implement my own using a database back end instead of text files.
problem with installation
Running on Gentoo Linux
EJabber 1.1.4
Again and again module crashed with

The answer is in this very same page. Please look at the other people that asked here about this module.
If you meaned "The problem
If you meaned "The problem seems that Erlang couldn't find the file mod_log_chat.beam"? I checked -pa again and again as I write above (sorry for bad English, it's not my native language), but it's not solutions of the problem.I copied some other .beams into that directory and modules works! But log_chat crashed.
Remove ?DEBUG lines
The problem seems that the module is prepared for ejabberd 2.0.0. Fortunately, you can use it in your 1.1.4: delete all the lines that say ?DEBUG(...)
chat log
plz if anyone can tell me the process/configration how to log the users chat in internal database.if internal database is not supported then tell me the other way.
plz tell me where i have to edit

Error after installing mod_log_chat
I tried to install this module. Compiling went well, I put the beam file to /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin/ since there werent any other beam files on my system. (README.txt just says: Put the beam file where your other beam files are - wtf? Can't it tell me how to determine/set the correct path...). When I change ejabberd.conf accourding to the example configuration and restart ejabberd, I get the following error in the log file:
=ERROR REPORT==== 2007-11-10 18:37:34 ===E(<0.1123.0>:gen_mod:47): {undef,[{mod_log_chat,

{gen_mod,start_module,3},
{lists,foreach,2},
{ejabberd_app,start,2},
{application_master,start_it_old,4}]
That is not very helpfull for me, I can't even figure out what went wrong... If anyone could help me I would be pleased.
Thank you,
Timo
Copied to wrong directory, check -pa

The correct path is different depending on how you installed ejabberd: source code package, binary installer, CEAN, or a specific Operating System package.
When compiled from the source code package, 'make install' copies ejabberd beam files to the path you mentioned. But a brief tutorial can't contain all the possibilities, hence it relies in the administrator knowledge of where the files where installed in his system.
Maybe this helps: when starting ejabberd, the parameters -pa or -pz are used to indicate that directory, for example:

The problem seems that Erlang couldn't find the file mod_log_chat.beam . So you must follow the instructions: find where are all the other ejabberd beam files, and copy this file there.
mod_log_chat log file name is incompliant with Windows
Default log file name has the template in style of:
2007-01-16 user1@site1 <->
Since symbols < and > are invalid symbols for windows file names - such file can't be created and mod_log_chat would produce io error
("E(<0.372.0>:mod_log_chat:171): Cannot write into file ./2007-01-16 user1@site1 <-> user2@site2.log: eio"
Possible resolution could be replacement of format string from
"~s/~~p-~~2.2.0w-~~2.2.0w ~s <-> ~s~s" to something like
"~s/~~p-~~2.2.0w-~~2.2.0w ~s --- ~s~s" in mod_chat_log.erl:126

Fixed
Thanks for the report. It's fixed now.

Yes, having a version of the mod_archive that supports relational database makes sense for large servers.
No promise on when it will be available, though.
