Dynamic Extensions for Remote Plug-ins
By default, plug-in views and menu items display in the vSphere Client user interface
unconditionally. The vSphere Client supports a Service Provider Interface (SPI) that allows
plug-in servers to filter views or menu items so they display conditionally. Conditional
extensions are known as dynamic extensions.
Dynamic extensions are supported for Summary, Monitor, and Configure views, and for Menu
actions. The vSphere Client SDK does not currently support dynamic extensions for Global
views.
