Daniel, is there something about this that's specific to the audit log plugin?

1. The audit_plugin prevents itself from being unloaded (FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT), this is not true for other plugins. 2. Just removing the config and restarting is not enough, this might not be obvious to folks who have expirience with how plugins are handled. 3. uninstalling w/o removing the settings *might* cause issues (then the variables might not be known to the server)

O, the generic page does mention FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT... so a link to that page might be fine. That page however only says that UNINSTALL won't work and doesn't tell you how to remove it... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-plugin-loading.html#server-plugin-uninstalli...

re: " 1. The audit_plugin prevents itself from being unloaded (FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT), this is not true for other plugins. " I don't find that to be true (prevents *itself* from being unloaded), unless I explicitly use FORCE_PLUS_PERMANANT at startup. Nevertheless, the section does show an example that uses that option. I'll add some information to the general installing-and-uninstalling section to deal with this case.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/audit-log-plugin-installation.html links to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-plugin-loading.html and the uninstalling information there is updated to cover uninstalling plugins loaded with server options at startup.
