Suppressing errors ..

[CommunityUser]

I have seen how it is possible to suppress errors through configuration of the controller - http://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/Examples-of-Excluding-Errors-and-Exceptions/ta-p/...  The question is whether the errors are still sent to the controller and suppressed there or are they suppressed at the agent level ..

thanks

Hi Ray,

Agent will still send and report error and exceptions but the BT which is raising ignore error will not be marked as error, Hope that clarifies

refer doc section for more info: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Configure+Error+Detection#ConfigureErrorDetection-Ignorin...

thanks Akumar .. there is a concern that in one of our applications this suppression of errors at the server has the potential to generate a lot of traffic.  In this application errors are raised in one tier but handled in a downstream tier.  This means that there could be a very large number of unhandled exceptions being reported to the Controller - I understand they will be suppressed in the Controller, but there is still the fact that a potentially large amount of traffic would be sent between the agent on this tier and the controller.

Is the simple answer here to handle exceptions on the tier they are raised in ?

Hi Ray,

We understood your concern, as of now error config is only supported at application level under Configure -> Instrumentation -> Error detection, as this point tier level error config is product limitation, Hope that answers.
