Is there a dynamic way we can test for the existence of a loaded plug-in (smartservice or function) in our code? The admin console & logs are useful when you manually check them and the Appian health check works but is manually run, slow to run and creates a heavy load on the system (hc-plugins.csv is created, but we do not run the health check daily in each environment).

I have a set of processes that run periodically (at least every morning) on each server that checks a number of internal system settings including all of our database connections to make sure they are operational. Adding a plugin check to verify certain plugins (and possibly their version) are operational would be helpful to indicate when a plugin isn't loaded or a developer has updated it to a new version.

I am testing calling some functions (that are plugins) but they tend to crash the node (expected) when the function doesn't exist and hence the process model crashes. I'd like to capture the success/failure in a try/catch type of method so I can gracefully know of the failure. Sure, I could create a subprocess for each plug-in we have and have a parent process call every subprocess and track which ones succeed or fail (with the failures timing out at 1 minute), but this could become unwieldy with 50 or so plug-ins.
