Abstract
Systems for fine-grained management of plug-ins. A method embodiment commences upon identifying a plug-in to perform a particular computing function in a computing environment. A set of configuration parameters that correspond to the particular computing function are determined. Based at least in part on the determined configuration parameters, an instance-specific plug-in management wrapper corresponding is generated. The instance-specific plug-in management wrapper includes fine-grained management controls so as to be able to observe performance characteristics, functional characteristics and other runtime characteristics of the plug-in while it operates in the computing system. When a particular plug-in is invoked, its management wrapper is automatically generated so as to encapsulate the particular plug-in. Deployment instructions are generated to instantiate the plug-in management wrapper and its encapsulated plug-in in the computing system. When the plug-in has performed its function, any measurements taken by the management wrapper are saved and the generated management wrapper is destroyed.
