Hi @DougR,

The problem you are running in to is fixed already - fix: remove top level errors from pagerror events by vigneshshanmugam · Pull Request #862 · elastic/synthetics · GitHub. But its only available on the latest Elastic Stack images.

The Elastic stack image 8.10.4 seems to be using the old synthetics agent version which is affected by this bug. You can confirm the version of the synthetics package by looking for the synthetics documents and checking this field package.version.

There are two workarounds here,

  1. Using 8.10.3 which should have the older version of Synthetics
  2. Waiting for the next release 8.11.0 which would be released with this fix.

I would suggest downgrading the stack to 8.10.3 version to work around it for now and move to 8.11 once the release is out.

We are working on improving this workflow, where you can control the version of the agent for Project based monitors. But unfortunately its not yet available. Please do let us know if you need further information.

Thanks,
Vignesh
