Research direction

Start at the log4j2 handling of throwableProxy and inspect how getSuppressedProxies() is currently handled. Include the suppressed exception proxies in the reported exception data, then verify that suppressed exceptions are sent along with the main exception.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In some cases the actual exception is hiding in the suppressed exception section. rollbar log4j2 is not sending this.
We need to append the following as well:
throwableProxy.getSuppressedProxies()
