NAME

       plugin.config - Traffic Server global plugin configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  plugin.config  file controls run-time loadable plugins available to 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 to which they are applied.

       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.

       IMPORTANT:
          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.
