What do "Skipping: inactive" errors in the Event Daemon logs mean?

The log lines look like:

2018-09-25 17:38:42,944 - plugin.tasks_approved - DEBUG - Skipping: inactive

And are often repeated over and over.

This error is reported for a few different reasons. Let’s go through them:

  1. If an event matches a script conditions in your plugins directory, but the script/plugin is inactive and so it is not processed. Plugins can become inactive by either removing them from the plugin directory or deleting them altogether:
  1. The plugin will also become inactive if an error is raised whilst loading the plugin due to an issue in the code:
  1. If it fails to register:
  1. Or if there is a plugin with no registering method found:

Hi!

How does the deamon supposed to recover from inactive state.
Say, it encounters an error (eg. can’t do an ssh connection temporarily) that resolves itself in time.
The plugin became inactive. What does make the plugin active again? Or do I have to restart it manually?

Thanks in advance!
