Comment 3 for bug 1872979

collectd is not built with symbols nore is the debuginfo rpm with symbols built by the build system making it difficult to debug the issue from the coredump.

controller-0:~$ sudo gdb /usr/sbin/collectd ./controller-0_2020-04-12_02-47-56_core.collectd.0.030bf5affac94ebdb55618230c994ca9.2520.1586659659000000
