**APM Server version** :  
7.13

**APM Agent language and version** :  
Java 1.28.0

We have config defined in Java spring application.proerties defined as  
` elastic.apm.ignore_exceptions=com.base.org.application.core.Exception.ExampleException`

This config is not making the excpetion to ignore and is still visbile in kibana-apm as Error.

Any suggestions

The `application.properties` file is used for Spring configurations.  
Go over our [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/configuration.html#configuration) to learn about available agent configuration options.
