Configure Dump Core Setting

Specify whether the agent should be allowed to dump core. The value you set for this group policy overrides the default ulimit setting. When you enable this group policy, select one of the following options from the drop down menu:

  • never:The agent never creates a core dump file.

  • once: If the core dump location is at /var/centrifydc, the agent creates a core dump file only if there isn't already one in that directory. If the core dump location has been set to another location by the administrator, this setting operates the same as the always setting.

    For Linux systems that use systemd-coredump, the core dump location is at /var/lib/systemd/coredump/; for those systems, the once setting operates the same as the always setting. However, by default, these systems are configured to remove core dump files that are older than a specified period. For more information please see your systemd documentation.

  • always: The agent creates a core dump file for every crash.

This policy modifies the adclient.dumpcore setting in the agent configuration file.
