# Example Plugins

## c-json-filetype

An example plugin of an EVE/JSON filetype plugin. This type of plugin
is useful if you want to send EVE output to custom destinations.
examples: add an example plugin of an eve filetype This is an example of what adding plugin examples to the Suricata repo could look like. This plugin is an example plugin for an EVE filetype. It could be extended to support outputs like Redis, syslog, etc. There is one issue with adding plugins like this to an autotools project, the project can't be built with --disable-shared, which is more of an autotools limitation, and not really a Suricata issue. Suricata built with --disable-shared will load plugins just fine. Note that the examples directory was added as DIST_SUBDIRS as we don't want normal builds to recurse into it and attempt to build the plugin, its just an example, but we still need to keep distcheck happy. 1 year ago			`# Example Plugins`
