Viewing Core Files from Junos OS Processes

When an internal Junos process generates a core file, the output found at /var/crash/ and /var/tmp/ can now be viewed. This provides a quick method of finding core issues across large networks.

Use the CLI command show system core-dumps to view core files.

root@host> show system core-dumps
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  268369920 Jun 18 17:59 /var/crash/vmcore.0
-rw-rw----  1 root  field    3371008 Jun 18 17:53 /var/tmp/rpd.core.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   27775914 Jun 18 17:59 /var/crash/kernel.0
