Process Core Dumps Not Collected in OCP 4.14 Due to `systemd-coredump` Failure
Issue
-
Application pods in OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.14.41 and below fail to generate core dumps. This prevents post-mortem analysis of application crashes, especially those ending in exit code 139 (segmentation faults).
-
Despite
systemd-coredumpbeing configured for core collection, recent dumps do not appear incoredumpctl list, and crash diagnostics are not recorded.
Environment
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 and later
- Nodes using RHEL 9.2 container images
