It seems that mod_logxml module is not compatible with ejabberd 13.12 version. Ejabberd fails to start when this module is installed.
My question is - is there another way how to log (file, database, etc) all the XMPP packets send and received by ejabberd?
Yes, you can make your own log module if you cannot find anything that fits your needs.
You can use a module I developed as a reference. This module which would intercept stanza with the type "chat" or "groupchat" and send a acknowledgement back to the sender.
You can modify this module by removing the type so it intercepts all stanza types and log whatever you want into a DB instead of sending a message back to the sender.
I've changed mod_logxml.erl that it will work with eJabberd 13.12. You have to put in
ejabberd/src/
Configs are for ejabberd.yml format:
mod_logxml:
stanza: [message, other]
direction: [external]
orientation: [send, recv]
logdir: "/var/jabber/logs/"
timezone: universal
rotate_days: 1
rotate_megs: 100
rotate_kpackets: no
check_rotate_kpackets: 1
