Hello,  
I'm writing my own plugin which will add a RestHandler. I need to have my own setting for the plugin which should be generated automatically if not preset.  
I should be able to see the setting and update it if needed.  
Is any standard way to store such settings in ES, or should I implement my own handler to do all this?  
Thank you,  
Eugene
