You should never place your own additions into the ~/share directories (pre 1.6) nor into the new directories below /lib/python/cmk/gui/plugins.

The right places for own plugins are shown by the cmk --path command:

OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk --path
...
Locally installed addons
  Locally installed checks               : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/checks/
  Locally installed notification scripts : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/notifications/
  Locally installed inventory plugins    : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/inventory/
  Locally installed check man pages      : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/checkman/
  Locally installed agents and plugins   : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/agents/
  Locally installed Multisite addons     : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/web/
  Locally installed PNP templates        : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/pnp-templates/
  Locally installed documentation        : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/doc/check_mk/
  Locally installed localizations        : /omd/sites/mysite/local/share/check_mk/locale/

That is: put your Perf-O-Meter plugins in ~/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/metrics. This way they won’t get overwritten or lost by an update of Checkmk.
