Overview

Explains how ULB enables generation of core dump files for the ULB Agent and Operator processes, including storage location and collection procedures for debugging.

ULB allows you to generate the core dump files for the ULB Agent and Operator processes in case of unexpected crashes or restarts. These core dumps capture the memory state of the process at the time of the failure, providing valuable information for debugging.

The core dump file is stored in the /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ directory on the node where the process was running.

Network administrators can manually collect the core dump file from each K8 node and analyze it using debugging tools.
