What happens to memory dumps once they are uploaded to ActiveGate?

When memory dumps are uploaded to ActiveGate, they are typically deleted immediately from the disk after the transfer is complete. This behavior is designed to ensure that sensitive data, which can be contained in memory dumps, is not left on the local disk longer than necessary. The immediate deletion helps to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to potentially sensitive information, thereby maintaining a higher level of security and data integrity within the monitoring environment.

In contrast, other options imply different retention or storage policies for the dumps. For example, suggesting they are stored securely forever would conflict with the practice of prioritizing security by minimizing the duration data remains accessible on local disks. Similarly, options that mention keeping data for a specified time or compressing it do not align with the standard protocol of immediate deletion, which is rooted in best practices for handling sensitive data.
