Hi all. The Appian Designer/Plug-Ins tab shows a long list of plugins that are installed on my cloud instance. I would like to create a list of the plugins that are actually used by my application. I tried searching the forums and found several answers that suggested exporting my application then searching through the xml files to find the plugin names.
After exporting my application, I found a file "/META-INF/plugins.txt". Does this list the used plugins? None of the answers I found talked about this file, but they were several years old, so its likely things have changed.
thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
You can find list of plugins used in your application inside of your application, there is a plugins tab beside of all objects. There you can find all list.
Yes, the list of installed plugins is on the Appian Designer/plugins tab, but I don't just want to know which plugins are installed, I want to know which ones are actually being used in my application.
I assume rama is referring to the plug-ins tab found inside the Application object, which seems to list only plug-ins referenced by objects in that application.
Ah yes, my bad, should have read Rama's answer more carefully. Thanks to you both.
As of 2024, I still don't think there is a single direct way to map all plugins to where they are used, but if you just want to see what plugins are actually being used, there is a file app-market-plugins-usage.csv that contains that information.
It can been joined with hc-process-models.csv, hc-plugins.csv, and hc-process-modes.csv to extract some of the mappings, but it is not complete. You have to go to multiple other sources to get a full list.
