Identifies the metric attribute plugins available.
A plugin is used to retrieve attributes from an external source. This may for example be other SQL tables, SNMP data or some other datasource.
Attributes to be retrieved by the plugin is identified by a reference_key.
For example, a plugin may exist that retrieves hostname from the usm_host table. The reference key in that case will typically be the host_id. If the hostname changes, it is not necessary to update the metric instances and metric definitions as long as the host_id is identical.
The plugin architecture may not be utilized in r11.
