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:`server-plugins-probes-index`.
#. Automating administrative tasks
(e.g. :ref:`server-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`_ contains the all plugins currently distributed
with Bcfg2.
.. _Bcfg2 repository: http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2/browser/src/lib/Server/Plugins
Metadata (Grouping)
-------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:glob:
grouping/*
Each of these plugins has a corresponding subdirectory with the same
name in the Bcfg2 repository.
Abstract Configuration (Structures)
-----------------------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:glob:
structures/bundler/index
structures/*
Each of these plugins has a corresponding subdirectory with the same
name in the Bcfg2 repository.
Literal Configuration (Generators)
----------------------------------
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
:glob:

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.
