Chapter 14 General Troubleshooting
Platform Core File Alarm
The Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch Core File Monitor enhancement is driven by the problem that core files
are huge (2–4 GB) and eventually cause a disk full condition resulting in a switchover. In the field,
operators rely on a process crash alarm to alert them that a core file is present. The core file monitor
alarm provides an additional periodic reminder that operator action must be taken to move core files
from the system.
