How to log fully detailed XMPP message sent and received by Prosody IM

Question

I try to analyze a problem related to XMPP. I have two server components joined the same MUC room on Prosody IM (it's hard to make my application to print those XMPPs they received/sent , i'm using jitsi jicofo and jitsi jigasi).

So, I was wondering if it is possible to print detailed XMPP messages sent/received in MUC.

My prosody logging configuration is as below:

log = {
        { levels = {min = "debug"} , to = "console"};
}

Above configuration gave me log output as follows:

c2s55b17ab56330                                         debug   Received[c2s]: <presence type='unavailable' id='AwXwU-149' to='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4'>
conference.example.com:muc                              debug   session qvagnu083x5-bl78@example.com/tYARglho is leaving occupant 123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4
c2s55b17b2a8300                                         debug   Sending[c2s]: <presence from='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4' id='AwXwU-149' type='unavailable' to='tiqmjoyi7d3rr69-@example.com/9W3u-kLN'>
c2s55b17ae40d40                                         debug   Sending[c2s]: <presence from='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4' id='AwXwU-149' to='focus@auth.example.com/focus32210095996901258' type='unavailable' xmlns='jabber:client'>

c2s55b17ae40d40                                         debug   Sending[c2s]: <iq from='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4' type='error' id='1hORO-3097' to='focus@auth.example.com/focus32210095996901258'>

Let's take line #3 above for example.

Prosody IM printed Sending[c2s]: <presence from='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4' id='AwXwU-149' type='unavailable' to='tiqmjoyi7d3rr69-@example.com/9W3u-kLN'> .

However, the full XMPP message is:

<presence from='123456789@conference.example.com/448ddea4' id='AwXwU-149' to='tiqmjoyi7d3rr69-@example.com/9W3u-kLN' type='unavailable'
    xmlns='jabber:client'>
    <x
        xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
        <item role='none' jid='qvagnu083x5-bl78@example.com/tYARglho' affiliation='none'/>
    </x>
</presence>

My problem is how can I optimize the logging configuration for Prosody IM to get fully detailed XMPP message as above.

And I have checked their documents:

Found nothing on this topic.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I finally figured out how to log fully detailed XMPP message in Prosody IM.

You will need mod_stanza_debug to achieve this.

From Prosody IM website:

This module logs full stanzas to the debug log for the purposes of debugging.

It has been bundled in Prosody Installation. Just enable it by editing modules_enabled entry in Prosody global configuration file:

modules_enabled = {
        
        -- debug stanza
        "stanza_debug";

};

And finally , I can get the fully detailed XMPP message:

Thank you for the answer. can you tell how I can add stanza listener in Jicofo side for incoming xmpp messages from prosody — MMSmmsbd, Jan 19 '22 at 10:40
@MMSmmsbd maybe you can do something like this : https://gist.github.com/ankanch/2fe307b97058ebcd8e582d1db28c9df3 . I only tested it on jigasi, not jicofo. — hcnak, Jan 26 '22 at 11:25
Thank you, I'll check it out, I've added similar stanza listener in Jicofo xmpp , although there found presence stanzas, not all the IQ, or messages stanzas . — MMSmmsbd, Jan 27 '22 at 04:05
