I’m new to openfire - I run the elasticsearch cluster at work and I’ve been asked to pull user related data into elasticsearch. Things like count of rooms, list of participants in each room, count of active users.
Ive found the JMX functionality and after a bit of fiddling got jolokia working with it. I’ve not found anything there that jumps out as useful for my scenario.
Ive got the Monitoring Service plugin installed and I can see many “OF*” tables which look interesting but I don’t really want to access this data directly from the database.
I cant figure out how to get the metric data via api - I’m sure it is possible, after all the web client is doing so
Please can somebody point me in the right direction, I’ve probably missed something blindingly obvious.
Hi Matthew! I’m not sure if all of the data is readily available to you. The web front-end (I assume you are referring to the admin console) ties directly into the Openfire code.
If the various JMX solutions aren’t working for you, then my next suggestion would be to look at the REST API plugin for Openfire. You can get a good amount of information from that.
If that doesn’t work for you either, then you can always develop your own extensions to preexisting plugins (please consider feeding them back to the community!) or develop a new, properietary plugin that exposes the data that you need in a format that’s most usable to you. Openfire is very well geared towards hosting such plugins, and offers many resources to get you started.
Another option that is available to you is going through our commercial service providers. You could approach any of them with a request to create the desired functionality.
