+### Plugin life cyle

+#### Initialization
+
+When xo-server starts, it initializes plugins.
+
+#### Loading plugins
+
+After initializing the plugins, the xo-server load them.
+

+
+XO clients send data to xo-server for testing the configuration and saving it if successful.
+
+### Principal Methods
+
+#### The default export
+
+It is  just a factory function which will create an instance of the plugin. Usually it will be called only once, at startup.
+Its only parameter is an object which currently only contains the instance of the currently running xo-server.
+
+#### `configure(configuration) `
+
+This method is called each time the plugin is (re-)configured.
+Its only parameter is an object which contains the configuration values.
+
+#### `load() `
+
+This method is called to load the plugin.
+
+#### `unload() `
+
+This method is called to unload the plugin.
+

+
+This method is called if the test option is activated.
