What happens when an ActiveGate runs out of space for memory dumps?

When an ActiveGate runs out of space for memory dumps, it manages this limitation by automatically deleting the oldest dumps first. This action ensures that the system maintains the ability to capture new memory dumps as they are generated, which is crucial for diagnostics and troubleshooting. By implementing a first-in, first-out strategy for managing memory dumps, ActiveGate helps balance the need for essential data retention with the constraints of available storage space.

This approach allows administrators to have access to the most recent data while ensuring that older, potentially less relevant dumps do not consume valuable resources. It’s an efficient method to manage storage and maintain operational continuity in environments where memory dumps are important for identifying performance issues or system anomalies.
