    # have to put a python script that implements a

    # dictionary that contains all settings of the
    # matched configuration block) in this folder
    # and enable it in the plugins section.

    # Any additional settings are not used by dynstatus directly.

    # to your enabled plugins as dictionary. So you can use them
    # in your plugins. But before you try to access a setting you
    # should make sure that it is available in the passed
    # configuration block.
