<title>Options</title>
<para>All options are configured in the
<literal>[Coredump]</literal> section:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Storage=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Controls where to store cores. One of
<literal>none</literal>, <literal>external</literal>,
<literal>journal</literal>, and <literal>both</literal>. When
<literal>none</literal>, the coredumps will be logged but not
stored permanently. When <literal>external</literal> (the
default), cores will be stored in <filename>/var/lib/systemd/coredump</filename>.
When <literal>journal</literal>, cores will be stored in
the journal and rotated following normal journal
rotation patterns. When <literal>both</literal>, cores
will be stored in both locations.</para>
<para>When cores are stored in the journal, they might be
compressed following journal compression settings, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
When cores are stored externally, they will be compressed
by default, see below.</para></listitem>

storage. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to
<literal>yes</literal>.</para>

<term><varname>ProcessSizeMax=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The maximum size in bytes of a core

will be logged, but the backtrace will not be generated
and the core will not be stored.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ExternalSizeMax=</varname></term>
<term><varname>JournalSizeMax=</varname></term>

<term><varname>MaxUse=</varname></term>
<term><varname>KeepFree=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Enforce limits on the disk space taken up by
externally stored coredumps. <option>MaxUse=</option> makes
sure that old coredumps are removed as soon as the total disk
space taken up by coredumps grows beyond this limit (defaults
to 10% of the total disk size). <option>KeepFree=</option>
controls how much disk space to keep free at least (defaults
to 15% of the total disk size). Note that the disk space used
by coredumps might temporarily exceed these limits while
coredumps are processed. Note that old coredumps are also
removed based on time via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tmpfiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Set
either value to 0 to turn off size based
clean-up.</para></listitem>
