Remote log stack traces without kdump in highly available environments

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I've had an outage in my highly available environment and suspect it may be due to a kernel panic, but for some reason kdump is not working. I can't take an outage to reboot the systems to get kdump or serial console logging working. Is there a way I can configure my systems to collect panic information from another incident without rebooting?
