Question

I've been trying to put together a config file for ADPlus.exe to determine the cause of my ASP.NET application's unexpected restarts. I'm having some trouble understanding the adplus.config file.

I have found example config files online, such as this one, that contain <Exception Code="xxx"> sections. The sections look like this:

<Exception Code="sov"><!-- StackOverflow -->
    <Actions1>VOID</Actions1>
    <Actions2>Log;Time;Stack;MiniDump;EventLog</Actions2>
    <ReturnAction1>GN</ReturnAction1>
    <ReturnAction2>GN</ReturnAction2>
</Exception>

Where do the three letter abbreviations for each exception come from? How do I know that sov means a StackOverflowException? I have tried to find a list of these abbreviations online, but despite trying various combinations of search terms, I have come up empty.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I have always used the WinDbg sx command to list all codes, Not sure if this is 100% correct, but have never seen others.

0:000> sx
  ct - Create thread - ignore
  et - Exit thread - ignore
  cpr - Create process - ignore

-- cut here, a lot more before:

 sbo - Stack buffer overflow - break - not handled
 sov - Stack overflow - break - not handled
