Another internal project at Gestalt has been open-sourced; this time, it’s our Packet Listener plugin for the Openfire XMPP server. This simple plugin queues up every packet sent or received by the Openfire instance where it’s deployed, then sends a copy of that packet out through a socket connection for any external processing you may need. In our case, we’re tracking traffic and message bandwidth. By default, the plugin forwards to localhost:9090, though this is configurable with a .JSP page integrated with Openfire’s own web-based administration system.
Those interested in the JBI scene will also want to see our other OSS projects:
