15.8. Files produced by kdump after system crash


After your system crashes, the kdump service captures the kernel memory in a dump file (vmcore) and it also generates additional diagnostic files to aid in troubleshooting and postmortem analysis.

Files produced by kdump:

  • vmcore - main kernel memory dump file containing system memory at the time of the crash. It includes data as per the configuration of the core_collector program specified in kdump configuration. By default the kernel data structures, process information, stack traces, and other diagnostic information.
  • vmcore-dmesg.txt - contents of the kernel ring buffer log (dmesg) from the primary kernel that panicked.
  • kexec-dmesg.log - has kernel and system log messages from the execution of the secondary kexec kernel that collects the vmcore data.
