``try { throw new Error('Method not allowed'); }catch(err) { apm.cap…tureError(err); res.send(500).json({message: err.message}); }`` Let's assume a scenario as above. In this scenario, there will be two errors logged in to the `Elastic Discover`. 1. Error captured automatically by apm agent 2. Error captured by `apm.captureError() `method In the Discover, those two errors will be logged as below. ![Screen Shot 2022-04-23 at 8 02 00 PM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38158937/164910414-bf6bbe14-922d-4652-98fb-56e09ba40167.png) As displayed in this screenshot, there will be two errors logged. Among those two, one has the error message but other one doesn't. I think it would be better if there is an option to disable this automatic error capturing feature. If we capture the error using `apm.captureError()`method, there should be only one error logged in the Discovery.
