Plugin dev - Suppressing fatal error dialog when using error level

Hello,

working on a plugin and using com.intellij.openapi.diagnostic.Logger. The documentation here  states that using Error level(i.e logger.error(message)) will show an error dialog to users.

Is there a way to prevent the error dialog from appearing? The plugin is meant to run in the background silently, and don't want to notify users. However, I still want to log errors at the error level for troubleshooting and monitoring purposes.

Thanks in advance!
