Hi,

I am trying to detect the code level error from appdynamics but i does't allow me to do so or may be i am not doing it properly .Can any one help, how can i detect the code level errors in my application through appdynamics.

for example i removed assignment operator (code mistakes) in one of my web page so it gave me http error but it doest get tracked in appdynamics.

so how can i configure appdynamics to track the code level errors.

Thanks

Please explain the meaning of below line also.

  • Business transaction entry point -> some code -> some exception thrown -> exception caught inside a business transaction -> business transaction finished. In this case AppDynamics does not report the exception.

Hi,

We understood that you have gone through the following docs , if not please go through and let us know if that doc helps:
- http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Configure+Error+Detection#ConfigureErrorDetection-Configu...
- http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Troubleshoot+Errors

Can you confirm whether you have checked under Troubleshoot -> Errors and Exceptions screen for http errors raised?

Regarding the other query: It means the exception raised but the exception not logged using any supported framework

like log4j or java util logging etc , Let us know if that clarifies your query.

Regards,

Arun

Hi,

By default we support the earlier stated frameworks, However if you are using custom logging , you can try the following feature and see if that helps: - http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Configure+Error+Detection#ConfigureErrorDetection-CustomL...

Regarding the other query on http errors, Can you send the zipped version of <agent_install_dir>/logs from the node raising the error and also provide screenshots with no filters selected from Troubleshooting -> errors/exceptions screen, and also provide error configuration screenshot from UI to debug further?

Regards,

Arun
