- Proposed title of this feature request
Ensure that a Node will not run out of disk space due to application core dumps
- What is the nature and description of the request?
When an application dumps core on OpenShift, the coredump is stored on the Node where the application was running.
In order to protect the Node file system from running out of space due to an application repeatedly generating coredumps, two settings exist in the file `/etc/systemd/coredump.conf`, namely `MaxUse` and `KeepFree`.
These settings however however act in a reactive fashion, allowing the core dump storage to take up more space than specified for an extended period of time (days) during which the Node files ystem is in the risk of filling up.
The request in the RFE is that coredump storage should not be able to grow past the specified limits.
In case of an over-run, old core files should be rotated out
- Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
If a Node disk would be filled up due to excessive amount of application core dumps being stored, this is likely to lead to an outage which is costly for our customers.
