The core dump handler is designed to quickly move the cores *"off-box"* to an object storage environment with as much additional runtime information as possible.

## Why is my zip file corrupted?
81
+
82
+
As of v8.7.0 there is now have a timer on the core dump to prevent repeated hanging core dumps taking down the system.
83
+
For very large core dumps this means the process can be truncated and the zipfile incomplete.
84
+
85
+
In v8.8.0 We have added the nocompression option to zip process to improve performance and you can increase the timeout default which is currently set to 10 minutes.

This appears to be a bug in some kubernetes services.

## Why am I getting the wrong container info?
151
+
152
+
Core dump handler trys to find the container information for the crashing process based on the hostname of the pod. This works fine in most scenarios but when pods are created directly in multiple namespaces or the same Statefulsets are created in the same namespaces.
153
+
154
+
The current recommendation is to create a unique name in both of those scenarios. [See issue 115](https://github.com/IBM/core-dump-handler/issues/115)
