I do have both those files. But I was under the wrong assumption that there is a systemd service for the same as mentioned here <https://manpages.debian.org/testing/systemd-coredump/systemd-coredump.8.en.html>. Thanks for the clarification. Now how do I enable systemd to generate core files? I did try setting sysctl kernel.core_pattern='| /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %c %e' But this does not generate core files consistently. On one instance, I saw a core file, and then did not see it in subsequent observations. Am I missing something?
