Plugins
The release v10.05.24 is the first release of ONA the provides the plugin framework. This framework is an initial start so it will likely go through quite a bit of change as it develops along. By default the NMAP plugin will come with ONA.
Install
To install a plugin, simply untar/unzip it into the /opt/ona/www/local/plugins directory. Once you have placed the plugin into this directory, it should be visible in the “Plugins → Manage Plugins” menu option. Simply find it in the list and click the Install icon and follow any instructions.
 | Install dialog, click this to complete plugin installation |
 | Help icon, takes you to the plugins online documentation (if one exists) |
 | activate or deactivate a plugin. If the icon is green the plugin is active, if it is grey it is inactive. Click to toggle |
