Agreed. Like the VMware plugin to handle ESX traces. It's internal and not published as the API is not stable. But if it ever becomes stable, and you would like it to live with KernelShark, we are looking to have a place to store third party plugins. We are working to make sure that the API for KernelShark plugins remains stable, so your plugins should always work too. -- Steve
