What is broken here? The site looks normal for me

[bluecmd]

I've installed a specific Grafana version on the site to a version that doesn't have the error message. The API call still happens however, so you should still see the block in uBO.

[SeamlessRelaxation]

And apart of an error message, was there anything actually broken on the user's side? https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/19380#issuecomment-2181065677

[bluecmd]

No, the error message was just a visual issue.

[stephenhawk8054]

No, the error message was just a visual issue.

Then we can't address it as breakage for clients / users. The most we can do is hiding the error message site by site as annoyance issue.

[bluecmd]

Ah, I see. That makes sense! Do you require anything from me to add such hiding? As far as I understand the error dialog is generic so getting just this particular error hidden might be hard.

[stephenhawk8054]

Currently I don't know how to reproduce it. Can you right click on the error message, open the inspect elements of it and screenshot to here?

[bluecmd]

Sure, here is the popup on a non-patched Grafana instance I have access to:

[stephenhawk8054]

Can you test this filter?

metric.sonix.network##+js(no-fetch-if, /frontend-metrics)

Click on uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Add the filter(s) in "My filters" pane > ✓ Apply changes > Open new tab and test again.

[bluecmd]

Yes! That seems to work wonderfully. I don't see any request for the metrics site, which I assume is what the no-fetch-if is for - but Grafana doesn't seem to care. I think this is a great solution, removing the metrics callback for folks and not breaking the UI.

If you want to add it per domain I would like to request it being added to metric.sonix.network as well as grafana.local.sonix.network - or even better **.sonix.network if such a thing is possible.
