What must be done to manage custom exceptions in an application using Dynatrace?

To manage custom exceptions in an application using Dynatrace, they must be configured in Dynatrace for monitoring. This is essential because Dynatrace doesn't automatically detect and monitor all custom exceptions without some form of configuration. By setting up monitoring for these exceptions, you can effectively track their occurrences, analyze performance issues, and understand their impact on the application.

Configuring custom exceptions allows you to create tailored alerts and to visualize the data related to these exceptions in the Dynatrace interface. This enables better proactive monitoring and quick responses to issues that may affect user experience or application stability. Proper configuration ensures that these exceptions are part of your application's health metrics, facilitating a more comprehensive analysis.

This proactive approach supports the overall goal of observability within an application, ensuring that all potential issues, including custom exceptions, are identified and addressed as they arise.
