+# This script provides an example of a PVC monitoring plugin script. It will create
+# a simple plugin to check the Libvirt daemon instance on the node for operation.
+
+# This script can thus be used as an example or reference implementation of a
+# PVC monitoring pluginscript and expanded upon as required.
+
+# A monitoring plugin script must implement the class "MonitoringPluginScript" which
+# extends "MonitoringPlugin", providing the 3 functions indicated. Detailed explanation
+# of the role of each function is provided in context of the example; see the other
+# examples for more potential uses.
+
+# WARNING:
+#
+# This script will run in the context of the node daemon keepalives as root.
+# DO NOT install untrusted, unvetted plugins under any circumstances.
+
+
+# This import is always required here, as MonitoringPlugin is used by the
+# MonitoringPluginScript class
+from pvcnoded.objects.MonitoringInstance import MonitoringPlugin
+
+
+# A monitoring plugin script must always expose its nice name, which must be identical to
+# the file name
+PLUGIN_NAME = "kydb"
+
+
+# The MonitoringPluginScript class must be named as such, and extend MonitoringPlugin.
