Analyze external stack traces
You might want to analyze exceptions received by someone else to investigate a problem, such as a deadlock or unresponsive UI.
With PhpStorm, you can view an exception stack trace or a full thread dump. While viewing, you can use them to navigate to the source code as if they were coming from the Run or Debug tool window.
In the Analyze Stack Trace dialog that opens, paste the external stack trace or thread dump into the Put a stacktrace here: text area.
Click OK. The stack trace is displayed in the Run tool window.
To jump to the code that caused the problem, scroll to the stack trace line you need and click the link to the source file. The file opens in the editor.
