Animesh , We have a config .js file for maintaining the list of plugin ID's . We use the plugin ID to load the plugin into the cloudstack UI . In case , a plugin is misbehaving all one needs to do is comment out the plugin ID in the config.js file .This would not load the plugin on to the cloudstack dashboard and it would seem as if the plugin does not exist at all.
