<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a server that is experiencing crashs. I have configured kdump on the server, including editing the sysctl.conf<br />
<br />
# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel<br />
kernel.sysrq = 1<br />
<br />
# Reboot the server 10 seconds after a kernel panic<br />
kernel.panic = 10<br />
<br />
grub.conf<br />
<br />
crashkernel=128M<br />
<br />
<br />
and have installed and have running Kdump as can be confirmed in service and chkconfig.<br />
<br />
However I am not getting any output to the /var/crash directory when there is a crash. This machine has started to crash more and more, and I am not sure why I am gettting these errors. Can anyone help me in trying to find out why there are no logs?
