What is the function of the Core Dump Manager utility?
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.
What is the best way to resolve an issue caused by a frozen process?
When a process is frozen (hung or unresponsive), the typical method to resolve it is to kill the process. On Check Point, you can use cpwd_admin kill -name <ProcessName> or a standard Linux kill -9 <PID> command if necessary. You then allow CPWD (the Check Point watchdog) to restart it, or manually restart it if needed.
Other options:
A . Power off the machine: This is too drastic and not recommended just for a single frozen process.
B . Restart the process: While this sounds viable, you typically must kill the frozen process first, then let WatchDog or an admin restart it.
C . Reboot the machine: Similar to powering off---too disruptive for just one stuck process.
Hence, the most direct and standard approach: ''Kill the process.''
