[#1]

can we delete the files that exist in the directory configured in the "Heap Dump Directory" option of the services in CDH/CM?

Hello @yagoaparecidoti 

If those files extension is hprof yes, they are safe to be removed. If you're investigating an issue with a service crash they may be helpful.

Additionally, hprof files are an indication that a service does not have enough heap size, so if the file is called something like, "mgmt_mgmt-NAVIGATORMETASERVER-<ID>_pid$$.hprof" it means that you have issues with the Navigator Metadata Services not having enough assigned heap memory. All the other services/roles meet the same naming convention.

Hope this helps!
