Plugins
=======
Plugins are the source of all logic used in building a config. They can perform one of several tasks:
#. Generating configuration inventory lists for clients
#. Generating configuration entry contents for clients
#. Probing client-side state (like hardware inventory, etc) -- the generic client probing mechanism is described at :ref:`plugins-probes`.
#. Automating administrative tasks (e.g. :ref:`plugins-generators-sshbase` which automates ssh key management)
#. Generating client per-entry installation decision-lists
Enabling Plugins
================
In order for the bcfg2 server to use a plugin, it needs to be listed on the *plugins* line in bcfg2.conf.
Default Plugins
===============
The `Bcfg2 repository`_ has the default plugin list currently distributed with Bcfg2: http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2/browser/trunk/bcfg2/src/lib/Server/Plugins.
.. _Bcfg2 repository: http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2/browser/trunk/bcfg2/src/lib/Server/Plugins.
Metadata (Grouping)
-------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
:glob:
grouping/*
Each of these plugins has a corresponding subdirectory with the same name in the Bcfg2 repository.
Abstract Configuration (Structures)
-----------------------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
:glob:
structures/*
Each of these plugins has a corresponding subdirectory with the same name in the Bcfg2 repository.
Literal Configuration (Generators)
----------------------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
:glob:
generators/*
Each of these plugins has a corresponding subdirectory with the same name in the Bcfg2 repository.
Statistics Plugins
------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
:glob:
statistics/*
DBStats can be enabled by adding it to the plugins line in /etc/bcfg2.conf.
Version Plugins
---------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2

Plugin Roles (in 1.0)
=====================
In version 1.0, plugins have been refactored into a series of roles. This are fine-grained plugin capabilities that govern how the server core interacts with plugins.
More details can be found in :ref:`plugins-plugin-roles`
