In what case must a file in {data_storage_dir}/memorydump be older than 2 hours?

A file in the {data_storage_dir}/memorydump must be older than 2 hours for eligibility in cleanup. This requirement ensures that memory dump files that are still potentially useful for analysis or troubleshooting are retained for a sufficient period before being considered for deletion. The aging of these files provides a window during which they can be reviewed or utilized in resolving issues that may arise, especially in the context of system performance or unexpected behavior.

Files that are retained too long may consume excessive disk space, and establishing a specific time limit like 2 hours helps manage storage efficiently while still maintaining access to recent data that could be critical for diagnostics. This balance is essential in a dynamic environment where timely access to operational insights is necessary, without succumbing to storage bloat from unnecessary retention of all memory dumps.
