Do we have a standard way in WoK to disable a plug-in? If not, this would
be a good place to start.
Not yet, but Trujillo is working in a task to enable/disable any Wok plugin.
For now and based on my preliminary tests, Kimchi plugin can continue be loaded
and when libvirtd service is up again, it's able to connect and continue to
work as normal.
Note that if libvirtd service is down -> kimchi down then it would
make
sense
to consider libvirtd up -> kimchi up, preferably without reloading WoK
service. Not sure if this is feasible though.
My proposal will make wokd not down if libvirtd goes down, but if wokd is down
will always check if libvirtd is up, and if not will up it. At least, that was
I got from my preliminary tests.
