<title>Description</title>
<para>These files configure the behavior of
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-coredump</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
a handler for core dumps invoked by the kernel. Whether <command>systemd-coredump</command> is used
is determined by the kernel's
<varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname> <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
setting. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-coredump</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>core</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
pages for the details.</para>

<para>All options are configured in the

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Storage=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Controls where to store cores. One of <literal>none</literal>,
<literal>external</literal>, and <literal>journal</literal>. When
<literal>none</literal>, the core dumps will be logged (including the backtrace if
possible), but not stored permanently. When <literal>external</literal> (the
default), cores will be stored in <filename>/var/lib/systemd/coredump/</filename>.
When <literal>journal</literal>, cores will be stored in the journal and rotated
following normal journal rotation patterns.</para>
<para>When cores are stored in the journal, they might be
compressed following journal compression settings, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
When cores are stored externally, they will be compressed
by default, see below.</para></listitem>

<term><varname>ProcessSizeMax=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The maximum size in bytes of a core

will be logged, but the backtrace will not be generated
and the core will not be stored.</para></listitem>

<term><varname>MaxUse=</varname></term>
<term><varname>KeepFree=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Enforce limits on the disk space taken up by
externally stored core dumps. <option>MaxUse=</option> makes
sure that old core dumps are removed as soon as the total disk
space taken up by core dumps grows beyond this limit (defaults
to 10% of the total disk size). <option>KeepFree=</option>
controls how much disk space to keep free at least (defaults
to 15% of the total disk size). Note that the disk space used
by core dumps might temporarily exceed these limits while
core dumps are processed. Note that old core dumps are also
removed based on time via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tmpfiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Set
either value to 0 to turn off size-based
clean-up.</para></listitem>
