Hello Experts,
We have a need for a script that will help us identify plugins and their associated dependencies installed on a given instance. Our cloning schedule down to our development instances can potentially wipe out dependencies for installed plugins without our knowledge, so identifying the connections between various plugins is key. However, we're not certain where to start with this as we don't know where this information resides.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
James B.

Hi @J benson,
You've likely already thought about this, but just incase.
There's an application 'Plugin installation history' which shows all plugins that have been installed on the instance.
It may be a good starting point for a script.
Additionally there is the subscription management applications. These are showing what subscriptions are active and their related plugins.
Using both of these inside a script to find all the dependencies of the installed plugins should be possible and something I will look into.
Please mark my answer as Correct/Helpful based on impact
Regards,
Dan H
