Rida Hanif developed the Kdump Remote SSH Storage feature for the sonic-net/sonic-buildimage repository, focusing on network device management and system configuration. Over the course of a month, Rida implemented enhancements in yang to enable remote collection and storage of Kdump core dumps via SSH. The solution introduced configurable options for enabling remote SSH, specifying the SSH connection string, and defining the private key path, allowing for secure and centralized crash dump management. This work addressed the need for improved data accessibility and reduced local storage usage, supporting faster root-cause analysis and more efficient post-incident diagnostics for network devices.
February 2025 monthly summary for sonic-buildimage. Delivered a new Kdump Remote SSH Storage feature that enables remote SSH for Kdump core dumps with new configuration options to enable remote SSH, specify SSH connection string, and define the SSH path for private keys. This enables storing core dumps remotely, improving data management, accessibility, and post-incident debugging. The work is captured in commit 01518cdc5df8d8b0acfb8407e80cd7eef83f5348 (Kdump Remote ssh yang enhancements (#19540)). Impact includes reduced on-host storage pressure, centralized diagnostics, and faster MTTR for crash investigations while maintaining security through explicit key-path configuration.
