# Manage Plugins

> View AutoMQ managed Kafka Connect plugins and manage custom plugins.

Kafka Connect plugins contain the connectors, transforms, and converters that transfer or process data between Kafka and external systems. AutoMQ Connect supports two plugin types:

* **Managed plugins:** AutoMQ maintains, validates, and makes these plugins available for Connect Clusters.
* **Custom plugins:** You upload and manage these plugins when the Managed plugin catalog does not meet your requirements.

## View the plugin list

1. Sign in to the AutoMQ Console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose **Kafka Connect**.
3. Choose the **Plugins** tab.

As of August 2026, AutoMQ provides the following Managed plugins:

<Tip>
  **Tip**

  If the Managed plugin catalog does not include the plugin that you require, submit a support ticket to request an update, or create a custom plugin as a temporary solution.
</Tip>

## Create a custom plugin

1. Upload the plugin package to a location that the AutoMQ environment can download, and obtain its download URL.
2. On the **Plugins** tab, choose **Create Custom Plugin**.
3. Enter the plugin name, version, description, main class, and other required metadata.
4. Confirm the configuration. AutoMQ validates the package before creating the plugin version.

## Delete a custom plugin

On the **Plugins** tab, locate the custom plugin version and choose **Delete**. Managed plugins cannot be deleted. A custom plugin version that is referenced by a Connect Cluster cannot be deleted; remove the reference before deleting the plugin.

## Update a custom plugin

To update a custom plugin, create another version by following the custom plugin creation procedure. Multiple versions of a custom plugin can coexist, and existing Connect Clusters continue to use their configured version until you update them.
