<p>An OOM plug-in is a gateway component, which releases RAM from a running

application or server. The function of OOM plug-in is to delegate the OOM

commands from OOM Monitor to the application. Each application provides its

own OOM plug-in, which allows OOM Monitor to communicate with that application.

The application associated with an OOM plug-in is referred as the target application

of the plug-in. </p>

<section id="GUID-61B51FD7-A314-4779-99BC-660276A409B5"><title>Priority for

OOM Plug-ins</title><p>Each OOM plug-in has a priority assigned by the OOM

Monitor in the configuration file. The priority of an OOM plug-in determines

the priority of the optional RAM allocation. For more information on setting

the priorities in the configuration file, refer to <xref href="GUID-178488C1-5453-490F-B168-9D73DB5BAE47.dita">Priority

Configuration</xref>. OOM Monitor uses the lowest priority action to release

RAM whether it is closing an application or calling a plug-in. </p><p>In the

OOM Monitor configuration file, the priority of a plug-in should

always be configured lower than the priority of its target application. Otherwise

the plug-in will never be used for releasing RAM, because the target application

is always closed before calling the plug-in.</p></section>
