is there a way to manually ignore exceptions through the Azure dashboard?

Question

I have an exception that is showing up in the logs of my application that cannot be traced to anything in the code. It is being logged at the window level from window.onerror(). Suspicion is that it is coming from a chrome extension. Would like to ignore this exception but any code that I have written in the Global Error Handler using the JS SDK for app insights does not seem to catch this error before logging it. Not sure in what way to intercept this error. Would like to do as the title suggests. Manually ignore a specific exception straight from the app insights dashboard. is this possible?

Failed Method is unknown, if I try to unminify the error Call Stack it tells me that no source maps could be identified from the call stack.

Hello,

I have a similar issue and it sounds like it could be achieved with a Telemetry initializer, you can filter telemetry items based on their data:

const insights = new ApplicationInsights({ ... });

insights.addTelemetryInitializer((envelop) => {
  // Provide your custom conditions under which message shouldn't be sent
  const fromChromeExtension = 
    typeof envelop.data?.errorSrc === 'string' &&
    envelop.data.errorSrc.startsWith('window.onerror@chrome-extension');

  return !fromChromeExtension; // when false - telemetry item is not sent
});
