====================
Using legacy plugins
====================
-------
General
-------
Legacy type plugins are located in the following location:
::
/usr/local/etc/inc/plugins.inc.d/
And contain files with the extension ".inc".
All automatically registered functions start with the name of the file (without the extension), followed by the purpose.
For example *vpn_configure* would be the *configure* handle in a plugin file name vpn.inc.
-----------------
Services
-----------------
To register services, the *<plugin>_services()* function should return a structure containing its name, description and operating properties.
::
function myplugin_services()
{
$service = array();
$service['name'] = 'myservice';
$service['description'] = gettext('My service');
$service['configd']['restart'] = array('myservice restart');
$service['configd']['start'] = array('myservice start');
$service['configd']['stop'] = array('myservice stop');
$services[] = $pconfig;
return $services;
}
For a full list of supported service methods, please inspect *services.inc*
-----------------
Syslog
-----------------
To register syslog targets, the *<plugin>_syslog()* function should return a structure containing targets and definitions.
::
function myplugin_syslog()
{
$logfacilities = array();
$logfacilities['myplugin'] = array(
'facility' => array('myplugin'),
'remote' => 'myplugin',
);
return $logfacilities;
}
-----------------
Interface
-----------------
To register new (virtual) interfaces, create a function called *<plugin>_interfaces()*, which should return a named array containing the unique interface name as key (enc0 for ipsec for example).
Every item should contain the following properties:
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Property | Syntax | Description |
+=======================+========================+========================================================+
| enable | boolean | interface enabled, if so it will be saved in the config|
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| descr | text | User readable description |
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| networks | array, [network, mask] | list of named arrays containing remote networks |
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| type | text | "none" |
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| if | text | physical interface (e.g. enc0) |
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| virtual | boolean | Virtual interface, true/false |
+-----------------------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
Example:
::
function myplugin_interfaces()
{
global $config;
$interfaces = array();
if (isset($config['myplugin']['enable'])) {
$oic = array("enable" => true);
$oic['if'] = 'tun0';
$oic['descr'] = 'myplugin';
$oic['type'] = "none";
$oic['virtual'] = true;
$oic['networks'] = array();
$interfaces['tun0'] = $oic;
}
return $interfaces;
}
-----------------
Configure
-----------------
When your plugin needs configuration after boot, you can create a function called *<plugin>_configure()* which will be called upon boot.
