# boundary_host_catalog_plugin (Resource)
The host catalog resource allows you to configure a Boundary plugin-type host catalog. Host catalogs are always part of a project, so a project resource should be used inline or you should have the project ID in hand to successfully configure a host catalog.
-`attributes_json` (String) The attributes for the host catalog. Either values encoded with the "jsonencode" function, pre-escaped JSON string, or a file:// or env:// path. Set to a string "null" or remove the block to clear all attributes in the host catalog.
-`description` (String) The host catalog description.
-`internal_force_update` (String) Internal only. Used to force update so that we can always check the value of secrets.
-`internal_hmac_used_for_secrets_config_hmac` (String) Internal only. The Boundary-provided HMAC used to calculate the current value of the HMAC'd config. Used for drift detection.
-`internal_secrets_config_hmac` (String) Internal only. HMAC of (serverSecretsHmac + config secrets). Used for proper secrets handling.
-`name` (String) The host catalog name. Defaults to the resource name.
-`plugin_id` (String) The ID of the plugin that should back the resource. This or plugin_name must be defined.
-`plugin_name` (String) The name of the plugin that should back the resource. This or plugin_id must be defined.
-`secrets_hmac` (String) The HMAC'd secrets value returned from the server.
-`secrets_json` (String, Sensitive) The secrets for the host catalog. Either values encoded with the "jsonencode" function, pre-escaped JSON string, or a file:// or env:// path. Set to a string "null" to clear any existing values. NOTE: Unlike "attributes_json", removing this block will NOT clear secrets from the host catalog; this allows injecting secrets for one call, then removing them for storage.
