Ignore Exceptions

There are lot’s of exceptions which developers want to ignore, for example the 404’s raised when a browser requests the favicon.ico file. To help achieve this we’ve added an ignore button onto the Exception Summary list.

Ignoring an exception will not only make it disappear from your list of exceptions but will also stop it raising alerts on your account. If you need to check which exceptions you’ve ignored they’re all listed under My Account.

Shared Exceptions

The exceptions you’ve shared are now listed under the My Account section.

New ASP.NET client features available

We’re now collecting some additional information specific to Http Status codes. This enables us to filter out information we’re not interested in on a per Http Exception basis. We will no longer collect any assembly, environment variables or other information from 404’s – just the basics.

We’ve added more assemblies to the exclusions list so it’s now not collecting assemblies which match the following criteria: -

• Assemblies with a version of 0.0.0.0
• Assemblies starting 'System'
• Assemblies starting 'mscorlib'
• Assemblies starting 'VJSharpCodeProvider'
• Assemblies starting 'SMDiagnostics'
• Assemblies starting 'WebDev.WebHost'
• Assemblies starting 'Microsoft.JScript'
• Assemblies starting 'CppCodeProvider'

You can now collect full ASP.NET Membership Provider information, to do this you need to set the EnableMembershipLookup to true in your Exceptioneer configuration section.

Upgrade your client

As ever, there’s no need to upgrade, but you can do so and take advantage of the new features in the client by logging in, going to downloads and selecting the download link.

Bug fixes

We’ve fixed a range of bugs in the Exception handling service and client which will mean more of your exceptions will be reported. This is possible because we track the exceptions which occur within our own assemblies too – Exceptioneer rocks!
