Hello There,

Since I am not getting any error while using APM, not mentioning versions.  
I have a specific query.

I see that below kind of custom exception which is logged in catalina.log are not captured in APM error listing. Do you have any input on these custom error can be added to the APM error listing.

```
<No business object 'Software Support Object CAD Conversion Parameters -' found

	at matrix.db.BusinessObject.getBasics(BusinessObject.java:2783)
	at matrix.db.BusinessObject.getDescription(BusinessObject.java:1412)/>

```

Thanks  
Krishana

In this case, you can captureException manually via ["Public api"](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/public-api.html).  
Or use supported logging framework, [slf4j](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/supported-technologies-details.html#supported-logging-frameworks) .

In addition, we will soon merge [a pull request](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/pull/919) that adds the same feature mentioned by @nugusbayevkk for log4j, so if you are using that as your logging framework- may be what you are looking for.
