What occurs if a service call fails due to unhandled exceptions?

When a service call fails due to unhandled exceptions, Dynatrace records this failure as an error. This is a critical aspect of monitoring service performance and reliability, as it allows teams to detect issues quickly and take corrective actions. By automatically capturing these exceptions, Dynatrace provides visibility into the health of services, enabling organizations to troubleshoot and diagnose problems efficiently.

The other options do not accurately describe the behavior typically observed in such scenarios. While automatic retries or logging as client-side errors may occur in some systems, they are not guaranteed or standard behavior for unhandled exceptions specifically stated in the context of Dynatrace. Similarly, triggering a service termination alert is more reflective of a critical failure scenario rather than simply capturing an unhandled exception error. Therefore, recording the failure as an error is the primary function of Dynatrace in this event.
