NAME
plugin.config - Traffic Server global plugin configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The plugin.config file controls run-time loadable plugins available to the Traffic Server, as well as
their configuration. Plugins listed in this file are referred to as global plugins because they are
always loaded and have global effect. This is in contrast to plugins specified in remap.config, whose
effects are limited to the specific mapping rules they are applied to.
Each configuration line consists of a path to an .so file. This path can either be absolute, or relative
to the plugin directory (usually /usr/local/libexec/trafficserver). Failure to load a plugin is fatal,
and will cause Traffic Server to abort. In general, it is not possible to know whether it is safe for the
service to run without a particular plugin, since plugins can have arbitrary effects on caching and
authorization policies.
Plugins should only be listed once. The order in which the plugins are listed is also the order in which
they are chained for request processing.
An option list of whitespace-separated arguments may follow the plugin name. These are passed as an
argument vector to the plugin's initialization function, TSPluginInit(). Arguments that begin with the $
character designate Traffic Server configuration variables. These arguments will be replaced with the
value of the corresponding configuration variable before the plugin is loaded. When using configuration
variable expansion, note that most Traffic Server configuration can be changed. If a plugin requires the
current value, it must obtain that using the management API.
