Ge0rG, IIRC groupchat

IRC or IIRC flow?

eevvoor, the latter :)

oh, I have a Bildungslücke :D flow

no shame in that, as long as you are motivated to fill it :)

IRC as base for groupchat would be a step back rather than forward. 😁

But I also always forget what this acronym means.

yeah but I know many people which are reachable only via IRC ✏

forgetting what IIRC means has a bit of an irony to it though ✏

If I really cared…

mdosch: :D

What monitoring tooling includes monitoring probes for XMPP ?

as in, for availability of a service expected to be running.

observe.jabber.network? :)

observe.jabber.network ;)

Heh

it is built on https://github.com/horazont/xmpp-blackbox-exporter

if you’re lazy and/or also want an outside view, you may or may not find integrating `curl -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"target": "muc.xmpp.org"}' https://observe.jabber.network/api/v1/check/xmpp-server | jq -r .success` in your monitoring useful.

(also available as xmpp-client and the respective xmpps variants)

(and subject to rate limits)

Useful, thanks, but my question was more: which more generic monitoring services (that can be expected to already be used by organizations) also offers XMPP checks?

Guus, Prometheus can be reasonably expected to be already used nowadays

Back in the day you had the Zabbixes and Nagiosses of this world, which I assume by now is completely outdated - but will have replacments?

and adding another exporter is standard practice then

nagiosses have check_xmpp somewhere
