# plugin list

The `plugin list` command lists all available plugins in the plugin catalog.
It can be used alone or with a type such as "auth", "database", or "secret".

## Deprecation status column

As of 1.12, all builtin plugins will have an associated Deprecation
Status. This status will be reflected in the `Deprecation Status` column, seen
below. All non-builtin plugins will show a `Deprecation Status` of "n/a".

## Examples

List all available plugins in the catalog.

```shell-session
$ vault plugin list
Name                                 Type        Version
----                                 ----        -------
alicloud                             auth        v0.13.0+builtin
# ...

$ vault plugin list database
Name                                 Version
----                                 -------
cassandra-database-plugin            v1.13.0+builtin.vault
# ...
```

List detailed plugin information:

```shell-session
$ vault plugin list -detailed
Name        Type    Version                  Container    Deprecation Status
----        ----    -------                  ---------    ------------------
alicloud    auth    v0.12.0+builtin          false        supported
app-id      auth    v1.12.0+builtin.vault    false        pending removal
# ...
```
