Use this Knowledge Script to monitor exceptions that managed .NET applications raise. Exceptions are errors in a program that cause it to branch to a new routine.
This script raises an event if one of the following conditions occurs:
The total number of .NET exceptions (or converted exceptions) that occur since the application started exceeds a specified threshold.
The number of .NET exceptions (or converted exceptions) that occur per second exceeds a specified threshold.
NOTE:The monitored .NET applications must be running at the time of discovery so their resource objects can discovered. The applications must also be running for this script to collect data.
The default schedule for this script is Every 5 minutes.
