Core dumps contain crash information for userspace applications and services running on Oracle Linux. They can be generated on demand by using a debugger, or the systemd-coredump service can be configured to generate them automatically in the event of a process stopping prematurely.

Core dumps contain a log summary of the crash event that typically includes the process ID, owner, termination signal, and a stack trace. For more information, see the systemd-coredump(8) manual pages.

The coredumpctl command can be used to review core dumps that have been written to the system journal or saved as a file. For more information, see the coredumpctl(1) manual pages.
