Answer 1

-XX:+FlightRecordingDumpOnUnhandledException only works for JRockit. No similar option exists for Hotspot (JDK7/8)

Answer 2

Use the template manager that is available in Mission Control.

Go to Windows -> Template Manager and import the template and check Heap Statistics and Allocation Profiling, export it. Done!

(I copy-pasted this text from similar question , @Kire wrote it as well)

Basically, you can just add exception-level=all to settings. I have no idea why Oracle don't have documentation for this parameters.
