Thanks for the reply.

 

Let me try to rephrase it, Basically I want to check how to check core dump status? Just to inform you that I have already imported QKview file to iHealth, I have checked CPU utilization from graphs, however it seemed normal.

 

Now from Logs (In iHealth), my colleague found that core CPU status from the logs (not sure the exact location from, and this is what I am looking for), where there was details about when CPU spike was generated along with the time stamp.

 

I hope this makes sense. Please revert if there is any confusion.

Hello Nat, Core files are usually contains quite low level and debug information which mostly analyzed by Engineering or PD Team. Unless you have programming background.

 

As stated above, core files are useful to determine the unexpected daemon crash / memory dump etc. For faster and effective result, you can submit it to F5 Support. If you just to want to explore the data inside, you can use "Core Analyzer" like utilities.

 

hope this helps.
