No, these are plugins in the ZenModeler itself. No "python" plugins ship with the Core edition of Zenoss -- I don't know about the Enterprise edition. There are lots of SNMP plugins and a reasonable selection of "cmd" (ssh/rsh/telnet) plugins. However they have another type of plugin called "python", but as I said, no examples of this kind of plugin ships with the Core edition. Of note: The zenoss-plugins that you install/use via SSH aren't touched at all when doing the initial modeling of the system. Instead the ZenModeler cmd.linux plugins are used. Only when it starts the process of getting data will it use the zenoss-plugins. (This requires that the device was successfully modeled via the modeler first in many cases.) To give you a simple filesystem example: When you model a device, it will list the mount points, but none of the usage information. This is the step performed by ZenModeler. Once that has happened, eventually you'll get the usage information filled in automatically, and it will be updated regularly. This is the step performed by the zenoss-plugins command. Now, the zenoss-plugins file system command requires a mount point to work, so it needs that modeling process to finish successfully before it can be run. However they are two separate processes. I hope this helps explain things.
