For example, transports might be SNMP, SSH, or HTTPS. Drivers might be combining those transports with application protocols such as SNMP, NETCONF (OpenConfig with XML), RESTCONF (OpenConfig with JSON), eAPI, or even CLI scraping. Drivers can be restricted to certain vendor platforms using familiar ACL syntax. They are also attached to specific phases in Netdisco's backend operation. =head1 Application Configuration The C and C settings list in YAML format the set of Perl module names which are the plugins to be loaded. Any change should go into your local C configuration file. If you want to view the default settings, see the C file in the C distribution. Driver phases are in the C setting and for a given backend action, the registered drivers at one or more phases will be executed if they apply to the target device. Each phase ("X") also gets a C and C phase added for preparatory or optional work, respectively. =head1 How to Configure The C setting is empty, and used only if you want to add new plugins but not change the set enabled by default. If you do want to add to or remove from the default set, then create a version of C instead. Netdisco prepends "C" to any entry in the list. For example, "C" will load the C package. If an entry in the list starts with a "C<+>" (plus) sign then Netdisco attemps to load the module as-is, without prepending anything to the name. This allows you to have App::Netdiso Core plugins in other namespaces. Plugin modules can either ship with the App::Netdisco distribution itself, or be installed separately. Perl uses the standard C<@INC> path searching mechanism to load the plugin modules. See the C and C settings in order to modify C<@INC> for loading local plugins. As an example, if your plugin is called "App::NetdiscoX::Core::Plugin::MyPluginName" then it could live at: ~netdisco/nd-site-local/lib/App/NetdiscoX/Core/Plugin/MyPluginName.pm The order of the entries is significant, drivers being executed in the order which they appear in C and C (although see L for caveats). Finally, you can also prepend module names with "C", to support the "Netdisco extension" namespace. For example, "C" will load the L module. =cut
