What is the Extension Library?
The Extension Library is your home for discovering and implementing Rapid7 product extensions and integrations.
You can access The Extension Library directly at extensions.rapid7.com or by clicking on The Extension Library icon within the Command Platform. This icon is represented by three squares and a plus, and is situated on the top right of the screen.
Filtering
From the home page of the Extension Library, you can filter the extensions to suit your needs.
Product filter
By using the product filter you can find extensions that are compatible with your Rapid7 product(s). Once you choose a product you can further filter by extension type.
Categories
Categories allow you to filter extension by use cases that you may be interested in. For example, you could view all extensions that cover vulnerability management by choosing that filter in categories.
Extension types
There are four types of extensions:
