Core Dumps
Introduction
A process core dump file consists of the recorded status of the working memory of the Gaia
Check Point security operating system that combines the strengths of both SecurePlatform and IPSO operating systems. computer at the time that a Gaia process terminated abnormally.
When a process terminates abnormally, it produces a core dump file in the /var/log/dump/usermode/ directory.
If the /log partition has less than 200 MB, no core dumps are created, and all core dumps are deleted to create space. This prevents the core dump files from filling the /log partition.

To configure core dumps, enable the feature and then configure parameters.

Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Total space limit |
The maximum amount of disk space in MB that is used for storing core dumps. If disk space is required for a core dump, the oldest core dump is deleted. The per-process limit is enforced before the space limit.
|
|
Dumps per process |
The maximum number of dumps that are stored for each process executable (program) file. A new core dump overwrites the oldest core dump. The per-process limit is enforced before the space limit.
Example
There are two programs "A" and "B", and the per-process limit is limit is 2. Program "A" terminates 1 time and program "B" terminates 3 times. The core dumps that remain are:
