# Plugin Design

Plugins will let InfraPulse add collectors and discovery logic without hard-coding every integration into the core API.

Target shape:

```python
class InfraPulsePlugin:
    name: str
    display_name: str

    def test_connection(self, target, credentials):
        pass

    def discover(self, target, credentials):
        pass

    def collect(self, monitor):
        pass

    def default_alert_rules(self, discovered_item):
        pass
```

The first implementation can use simple internal collectors, but the interfaces should preserve this path.

Planned plugin areas:

- Website checks
- Generic SNMP
- Proxmox VE
- Docker
- UniFi
- TrueNAS
- Technitium DNS
- Active Directory
