XenCenter Plugins

In XenCenter 5.5 it is now possible to add custom menu items or even whole tabs to the main window. You might do this as an ISV to integrate your own product with XenCenter, or as an end-user to integrate with your company's existing inventory management, for example.

A menu item can run a Microsoft PowerShell script or even an arbitrary executable on the client machine. Tabs are populated with a web page, and can call out to other services on your network or to your VMs.

This is a technology preview for XenCenter 5.5, and will be fully supported in future releases. We welcome your feedback of course, and would love to hear of any use cases that you have. Please comment at the bottom of this page.
