The Core Dump Manager (CDM) is a utility that helps manage core dump files on Check Point systems. Its main functions include:
Limiting file size and number: CDM can be configured to limit the size of individual core dump files and the total amount of disk space used for core dumps. This prevents core dumps from filling up valuable disk space.
Compression: CDM can compress core dump files to reduce their storage size. This is particularly helpful when dealing with large core dumps.
Process filtering: CDM allows you to specify which processes should be allowed to generate core dumps. This can help prevent unnecessary core dumps from being created.
Remote collection: CDM can be configured to send core dump files to a remote server for analysis. This is useful in environments where direct access to the system generating the core dump is limited.
By using CDM, you can effectively manage core dump files and ensure that they are not overwhelming your system's resources.
