Modern applications are complex multi-tier and multi-layer systems that consist of multiple client-side apps, web servers, application servers, and database servers. The applications use third-party libraries, communicate with other applications using different communication mechanisms, and rely on cloud services and hosting providers.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\"Python<\/a><\/p>\n

How can you manage that complexity? Your first thoughts probably go to\u00a0application monitoring\u00a0and performance tools. Yet that is not a complete solution. To manage application complexity fully, you also need\u00a0exception monitoring. Without exception monitoring, you\u2019ll never stay ahead of the complexity of modern applications.<\/p>\n

Let me explain why?<\/p>\n

Lots of\u00a0monitoring tools\u00a0exist to help you identify and troubleshoot issues across all application layers. However, most of these tools are designed to show you the overall system state. Only logs, and exceptions in particular, offer insight into a finer level of detail.<\/p>\n

By definition, an\u00a0exception\u00a0is an event which occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal flow of the program\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n

Exceptions are used to indicate many different types of error conditions across all the application layers: out of memory, stack overflow, IO problems, null pointer exceptions, network timeouts, and many others. They could indicate system problems, problems in application logic, operating system problems, connectivity problems, and so on.<\/p>\n

When an exception occurs within a method, the method creates an object and hands it off to the runtime system. The\u00a0exception object\u00a0contains information about the error, including its type and the state of the program when the error occurred. Therefore, exceptions\u2014 handled or not\u2014provide access to very useful raw data that can be used for:<\/p>\n
