Can I prevent the Chrome Developer Tools console from logging image 404 errors?

Work has "started" on this by the Chromium team: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=96212

Update: The feature request was closed on March 18, 2013. I'm not sure in which version of Chrome this feature first appeared, but I can confirm console filtering options in my Chrome v33.0.1750.152 (Linux).

Update 2: Currently, when a filter (plain text or regular expression) is entered, it is tested against the message text (e.g. GET http://example.com/foobar 404 (Not Found)) as well as the text of the right side link (e.g. test.html:65). (I have filed an issue with Chromium to track this.)

As a workaround, use a regular expression filter like:

^(?!.* 404 \(Not Found\))(?!.*[file name])

where [file name] is the file name from the right side link.

For example, if my page is test.html, then ^(?!.* 404 \(Not Found\))(?!.*test\.html) will work.

Note: This will also filter out messages that have the file name in the message text. I'm not sure there is a way around this for now.

Update (2019-06-05): This expression will filter out 404s in my current version of Chrome (75.0.3770.80):

-/404\s\(Not\sFound\)$/

It seems the filtering first splits the filter string by whitespace before processing each token, but it will also split spaces inside of a regular expression, so the \s's are necessary.

Technically, this will filter out any message ending with the (case insensitive) string "404 (Not Found)", including console.log messages.


In the chrome developer tools, it's under the "Console" tab. Click "Filter" and it will be on the filter line as a checkbox.
