Just started looking at openfire, and am wondering if there’s an existing mechanism to publish group chat transcripts to an external location - log file, web site, etc.?
I turned on the monitoring plugin, which lets me view the transcripts through the admin UI, so the data’s obviously available. Any pointers here?
If I can’t find an existing solution and have to roll my own, what would be the best starting point? Periodically scrape the data (like the admin page does), log it on the fly, have a logger bot sit in each room, other? Any samples to get me started on any of these approaches?
Can’t really suggest anything. I would say that going with a solution not based on Monitoring plugin functionality sounds better, as this plgin sometimes has issues
Logs can be saved (Audit Policy), but they will contain all messages, not just group chats and will be in xml frmat which should be somehow stripped/converted.
