I want to test my plugin on dozens of cameras.
Is there a program way to change the plugin's settings and turn it on and off?

  Hello Andrey,
  Thanks for your help.
  
  I was able to enable/disable plugins. However, is it possible to change plugin's settings? I've tried the above code, and it doesn't work. Nx returns 200 on any settings combination but doesn't change settings.
  Could you please help me with this issue?

  Hello Hendrik Baekeland,

  The recommended way for getting/changing plugin settings is utilizing the followoing API

  GET /ec2/deviceAnalyticsSettings
  POST /ec2/deviceAnalyticsSettings
