=== Errors overview
|
|
|
|
TIP: {apm-overview-ref-v}/errors.html[Errors] are defined as groups of exceptions with matching exception or log messages.
|
|
|
|
The *Errors* overview provides a high-level view of the error message and culprit,
|
|
the number of occurrences, and the most recent occurrence.
|
|
Just like the transaction overview, you'll notice we group together like errors.
|
|
This makes it very easy to quickly see which errors are affecting your services,
|
|
and to take actions to rectify them.

Selecting an error group ID or error message brings you to the *Error group*.

|
|
|
|
Here, you'll see the error message, culprit, and the number of occurrences over time.
|
|
|
|
Further down, you'll see the Error occurrence table.
|
|
This is where you can see the details of a sampled error within this group.
|
|
The error shown is always the most recent to occur.
|
|
|
|
Each error occurrence features a breakdown of the exception, including the stack trace from when the error occurred,
|
|
and additional contextual information to help debug the issue.
|
|
In some cases, you might also see a Transaction sample ID.
|
|
This feature allows you to make a connection between the errors and transactions,
|
|
by linking you to the specific transaction where the error occurred.
|
|
This allows you to see the whole trace, including which services the request went through.

==== Error reports with Watcher
|
|
|
|
You can use the power of the alerting features with Watcher to get reports on error occurrences.
|
|
The Watcher assistant, which is available on the errors overview, can help you set up a watch per service.
|
|
|
|
Configure the watch with an occurrences threshold, time interval, and the desired actions, such as email or Slack notifications.
|
|
With Watcher, your team can set up reports within minutes.
|
|
|
|
Watches are managed separately in the dedicated Watcher UI available in Advanced Settings.
