Plugin types

Description

Direct Plugin

They are used to process the data of a specific Directory Object. They are started one by one and work independently. They are used to perform� one SNMP request or a set. These Plugin have the file extension .lp.

Directory Plugin

They allow you to associate an application to a Directory host. This Plugin are loaded and saved within the Directory. They allow you to do schedule tasks or repetitive tasks (graphics, polling …). These Plugin extend the capacity of LoriotPro by creating an ActiveDirectory. These Plugin have the file extension .slp.

Service Plugin

The Service Plugin are loaded in complement of the LoriotPro services. They are not linked to a host or to any object of the Directory. They are used to extend the features of LoriotPro (SMTP Scheduler, Syslog server, Telnet server ...)


The three types of Plugin use the same programming logic but do not use the same sub-routines. A LoriotPro Plugin is a Windows dynamic link library (DLL) containing prerequisite functions allowing it to communicate with the LoriotPro kernel. The Software Development Kit available in LoriotPro is provided with numerous source code examples. They were developed with Visual Studio from Microsoft but other compilers could be used.

By default, LoriotPro is distributed with several Plugin that represent good examples of what could be made to extend the LoriotPro capacities.

Some of them are quite simple and are usable as examples. Some other are very complex and work tightly with the LoriotPro kernel. LoriotPro at each cold start dynamically loads them.
