# SHOW PLUGIN / PLUGINS command

The SHOW PLUGINS command lists information and status for all loaded plugins, including manually loaded plugins and automatically loaded built-in plugins. The built-in plugins displayed by the SHOW PLUGINS command include only those for the Graph service and Storage service, which are automatically loaded when the services start.

The `SHOW PLUGIN <plugin_name>` command lists information and status for a specific plugin.
