"Exceptions" telemetry shows exceptions which were thrown in the profiled application.
Exceptions may be grouped by their exception class or by thread in which they occurred. Selecting an exception in the upper table allows viewing the exception stack traces.
Checkbox "Show exceptions thrown and caught inside filtered methods" enables to filter out exceptions which have been thrown and caught in methods of library classes. By default, the checkbox is unselected, as such kind of exceptions are usually of no interest when profiling your application.
You can clear recorded exceptions with the help of corresponding toolbar button:
You can compare exception statistics of two snapshots with the help of "File | Compare Snapshot with...".
Disabling/enabling exception telemetry
Exception telemetry helps discovering performance issues and logic errors. In most cases, there is no significant overhead of collecting this information.
However, it makes sense to disable it in production J2EE servers in order to ensure minimum profiling overhead.
The telemetry is enabled by default, unless "disableexceptiontelemetry" startup option was specified.
When you are connected to the profiled application, use corresponding toolbar button to enable/disable the telemetry.
