# Remote Plugin Deployment Deployment of remote plugins, via Ruby Gems, is exposed via the `sensu_remote_plugins` variable. By default this variable evaluates to `~` (null). It should be set as a YAML list, like so: ``` yaml sensu_remote_plugins: - graphite - process-checks ``` This will install the `graphite` and `process-checks` plugins from [https://github.com/sensu-plugins/](https://github.com/sensu-plugins/). Specific versions of plugins can also be defined, as shown below: ``` yaml sensu_remote_plugins: - graphite - process-checks:0.0.6 ``` As with any Ansible variable, the `sensu_remote_plugins` list can be defined where you see fit!
