Description
I need to be able to set a custom dump.pm2 path for use with pm2 save, while keeping my overall PM2_HOME directory intact.
I have tried setting the DUMP_FILE_PATH environment variable as the documents seem to suggest, but no matter what I do, called to pm2 save always point to PM2_HOME/.pm2/dump.pm2
Is it possible for me to manually change the path so that the dump file is stored outside of the PM2_HOME directory?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with pm2 save, while varying DUMP_FILE_PATH and keeping PM2_HOME unchanged. Trace how the pm2 save command resolves the dump location; done means the dump is written to the requested path outside PM2_HOME.
