Description Harel Braha 2022-01-03 09:57:23 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2015093 +++

Description of problem:
VDSM is relying on abrt-ccpp addon to generate core dumps and we disable the systemd's core dump generation machinery.

In CentOS Stream 9 abrt is not available.

I'm rebuilding it from Fedora as a temporary measure but we shouldn't rely on abrt for generating core dumps.

Comment 1 Harel Braha 2022-01-03 10:39:08 UTC 
We are switching to systemd-coredump from abrtd as of RHV-4.4-service-pack-1. The use of abrtd is all clean up from vdsm, and our documentation needs to be updated accordingly. In regards to that subject, the only reference I found was in the RHVH documentation [1] which explains how we use abrt to collect meaningful debug information. In addition, I think it will be good idea to add a reference to the systemd-coredump documentation[2][3].
