DROP PLUGIN plugin_name TYPE 'plugin_type'

Marks the designated plugin for unloading. The unloading process is not instantaneous, as concurrent queries may still be utilizing it. Nevertheless, following a DROP, new queries will no longer have access to the plugin. Subsequently, when all ongoing queries involving the plugin have finished, the plugin will be unloaded. If all plugins from the specified library are unloaded, the library will also be automatically unloaded.

DELETE BUDDY PLUGIN manticoresoftware/buddy-plugin-show-hostname

To simplify the control of Buddy plugins, especially when developing a new one or modifying an existing one, the enable and disable Buddy plugin commands are provided. These commands act temporarily during runtime and will reset to their defaults after restarting the daemon or performing a Buddy reset. To permanently disable a plugin, it must be removed.

You need the fully qualified package name of the plugin to enable or disable it. To find it, you can run the SHOW BUDDY PLUGINS query and look for the full qualified name in the package field. For example, the SHOW plugin has the fully qualified name manticoresoftware/buddy-plugin-show.
