/**
 * This class provides an example overload handler plugin that will demonstrate
 * how to control LDAP traffic based on the current severity level of a
 * specified gauge. The assumption is that client traffic is causing the server
 * to be overloaded, and rejecting some of the traffic will help with the
 * overload condition.
 * <p>
 * The plugin supports the following configuration properties.
 * <ul>
 *   <li>
 *     gauge-name -- The name of the gauge whose severity level will be used to
 *     control incoming client requests. This is a mandatory property and
 *     omitting it is an error.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     drop-percent-critical -- The total percentage of requests to drop when
 *     the gauge's current severity level is 'critical'. If not specified, no
 *     default value will be assumed, i.e. the server will not drop any traffic
 *     for this severity level.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     drop-percent-major -- The total percentage of requests to drop when
 *     the gauge's current severity level is 'major'. If not specified, no
 *     default value will be assumed, i.e. the server will not drop any traffic
 *     for this severity level.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     drop-percent-minor -- The total percentage of requests to drop when
 *     the gauge's current severity level is 'minor'. If not specified, no
 *     default value will be assumed, i.e. the server will not drop any traffic
 *     for this severity level.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *     drop-percent-warning -- The total percentage of requests to drop when
 *     the gauge's current severity level is 'warning'. If not specified, no
 *     default value will be assumed, i.e. the server will not drop any traffic
 *     for this severity level.
 *   </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The plugin will register a listener to the server's "cn=alarms" backend so
 * that it is notified of changes in the alarm backend. When there is a change
 * in the alarm backend, it will read the current severity level for the gauge
 * from the alarm backend and save it internally. For each incoming LDAP
 * operation, the plugin will drop or accept it based on the configured
 * percentage of requests to drop for that severity.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The plugin will also register a monitor provider that will provide
 * information about the total number of requests dropped for each severity
 * level.
 * </p>
 * The plugin may be created and enabled by running the following dsconfig
 * command:
 * <p>
 *  <code>
 *   dsconfig -n create-plugin
 *   --plugin-name "Example Overload Handler Plugin" --type third-party
 *   --set invoke-for-internal-operations:false
 *   --set plugin-type:preparseadd --set plugin-type:preparsecompare
 *   --set plugin-type:preparsedelete --set plugin-type:preparsemodify
 *   --set plugin-type:preparsemodifydn --set plugin-type:preparsesearch
 *   --set plugin-type:preparsebind --set plugin-type:preparseextended
 *   --set extension-class:com.unboundid.directory.sdk.examples. \
 *          ExampleOverloadHandlerPlugin
 *   --set extension-argument:gauge-name='CPU Usage (Percent)'
 *   --set extension-argument:drop-percent-critical=60
 *   --set extension-argument:drop-percent-major=50
 *   --set enabled:true
 *  </code>
 * </p>
 * The gauge to be used by the plugin, if not already enabled, may be enabled
 * by running the following dsconfig command.
 * <p>
 *   <code>
 *     dsconfig -n set-gauge-prop --gauge-name 'CPU Usage (Percent)'
 *     --set enabled:true
 *   </code>
 * </p>
