First Plugin: Discovery

Writing a plugin for the fist time.. I have a couple of questions:
1) When new software is installed, how does the version information get
updated? Do you have to re-run discovery on regular intervals?
2) It looks like much of the code is using process-scan tags in the xml.
I assume this is a feature to look for running instances which can be
accessed via context.getAutoDiscoveredProcesses()
3) Given that 2 is my assumption, is this a best practice? It seems like
you would want to discover non-running servers as well.
4) What is the best practice with the new Raw config stuff is a server
has more than one config file? Does that matter at all in creating the
classes behind the plugin?
