 Plugin orchestrators may also be described as **modular plugins**. They are modular since they accept custom made modules to be included. Writing modules for these plugins is easier than accessing the native Netdata API directly. You will find modules already available for each orchestrator under the directory of the particular modular plugin (e.g. under python.d.plugin for the python orchestrator).
 Each of these modular plugins has each own methods for defining modules. Please check the examples and their documentation.

 ## Modular Plugins
 
 1.  **python**, use `python.d.plugin`, there are many examples in the [python.d
-    directory](/collectors/python.d.plugin/README.md)
+    directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/README.md)
 
     python is ideal for Netdata plugins. It is a simple, yet powerful way to collect data, it has a very small memory footprint, although it is not the most CPU efficient way to do it.
 
 2.  **BASH**, use `charts.d.plugin`, there are many examples in the [charts.d
-    directory](/collectors/charts.d.plugin/README.md)
+    directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/charts.d.plugin/README.md)
 
     BASH is the simplest scripting language for collecting values. It is the less efficient though in terms of CPU resources. You can use it to collect data quickly, but extensive use of it might use a lot of system resources.
