# Exec Plugin
The exec plugin can execute arbitrary commands which return flattened
JSON.
For example, if you have a json-returning command called mycollector, you could
setup the exec plugin with:
```
[[exec.commands]]
command = "/usr/bin/mycollector --output=json"
name = "mycollector"
```
The name is used as a prefix for the measurements.
