Does anyone have documentation for Zxchat? Not just installation on the zimbra server but things like DNS and jabber client setups.

The web interface appears to work but was clunky at first due to not being notified that a user was wanting to chat. Kind of a chicken and egg situation. Neither of us saw the other as online until we both clicked each other's name or something.

Our usernames are just "user" not "user@example.com", at least that is how we log into zimbra web. This seems to cause issues with jabber clients out there. Also, the clients want to automatically go to example.com instead of mail.example.com where the server resides. Maybe DNS service record is not configured correctly?

XMPP clients:
Xabber on Android seems to work best but knowing what to put into the fields was not straight forward. Trial and error got it working.

Monal on IOS is the only client I could find that does not use a third party, i.e. goes to your server not relay through another server first. I got it working but it is constantly relogging into the server. The status of the user always shows offline even though messages send and receive. The username that I typed in was user2@example.com. After the first successful login, this changed to user2@mail.example.com even though I manually entered mail.example.com in the server field.

What logs on the zimbra server can I look at to track down what might be going on?

Zimbra 8.5x
Zextras 1.10.1
Ubuntu 14.x
