| OS | Gaia |

## Symptoms

- * The automated diagnostics verification test (`"asg diag verify"`) fails on "core dumps".

* In the */var/log/dump/usermode/* directory, there is a a core file called "*collect_vs_if_d.PID.core.gz* " (for the `collect_vs_if_data` process).

## Cause

The core dumps occur because perfanalyze scripts attempts to collect resource control statistics from multiple Virtual Systems (VSs) which is not supported in kernel 3.10

[sk170323: Cannot enable VSX Resource Control Monitor in R80.30 and higher with Gaia kernel 3.10](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk170323&partition=Advanced&product=VSX)

<br />

## Solution

The collection of the 'Resource Control' statistics were removed from perfanalyze_scripts.  

This problem was fixed. The fix is included starting from:

* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81.10](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.10/Default.htm) starting from Take 75
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R81](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81/Default.htm) starting from Take 72

Check Point recommends to always upgrade to the most recent version ([Security Gateway](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=downloads&product=435) / [VSX](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=downloads&product=359) / [Security Management Server](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=downloads&product=184) / [Multi-Domain Security Management Server](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=downloads&product=166) / [SmartConsole](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doShowproductpage&productTab=downloads&product=191)).  

**If you choose not to upgrade, you can use this workaround:**   

1. Back up the **'$SMODIR/bin/perfanalyze'** script  
   # cp $SMODIR/bin/perfanalyze{,.ORIG}  

2. Edit the file and comment out the last four functions:  
   get_mem_per_vs  
   get_vmem_N_conn_per_vs  
   get_cpu_usg_per_vs  
   get_tx_rx_for_vs_if 1  

   **Change from:**   
   `get_ppk_statistics`  
   `get_memory_data`  
   `get_cpu_load`  
   `get_activated_swb`  
   `get_mem_per_vs`  
   `get_vmem_N_conn_per_vs`  
   `get_cpu_usg_per_vs`  
   `get_tx_rx_for_vs_if 1`  

   **To:**   
   `get_ppk_statistics`  
   `get_memory_data`  
   `get_cpu_load`  
   `get_activated_swb`  
   `# currently not supported`  
   `# get_mem_per_vs`  
   `# get_vmem_N_conn_per_vs`  
   `# get_cpu_usg_per_vs`  
   `# get_tx_rx_for_vs_if 1`
