I am in the process of moving several services including Node-red and Mariadb to another server.

I have not yet got mariadb installed & working and the database transferred. Consequently Node-red is spewing out these errors at about 10/second

There are many MySQL nodes on several tabs.  
Disabling the database config doesn't stem the errors.  
Disabling the flows doesn't stop them,  
They keep coming even if I setup a Catch node.  
Setting the debug panel filter to "current flow" has no impact.

Is there a way to turn these error messages off, or to rate limit them?

Use a catch node without anything attached ?

Tried that, they keep on coming.

Perhaps I need a catch node on every tab with a mysql node?

hmm ok. note, the catch node works per tab.

This config node is not on a flow, it's a config node!

So the answer is: all you need is a Catch node on **every** flow **and** to disable the config node[s].
