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

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

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

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

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

    20 of the plug-in. </p>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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