Kdump & /etc/kdump/pre.d/* Not working

Rocky Linux General

Hello,

I am trying to run a custom script before the kdump (ie
/etc/kdump/pre.d/* ) which seems not to work. I am failing to understand what obvious step I am missing. Has someone tried this?

While the “echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger” successfully reboots the
output is not what is expected.

I could see nothing special under /var/log/kdump.log and journalctl -x

Here is my setup for kdump/kexec.

Thanks!

-------Expected output-------

01. Under /var/crash we should be having a folder as "DBGMSG-<date>".
02. vmcore file
03. dmesg file

-------current output-------

Nothing under /var/crash
