環境

•  We were able to replicate this by installing AdBlock on a Chrome browser and configuring it by going to AdBlock options > Filter Lists > Other Filter Lists, and enabling "EasyPrivacy (privacy protection)".

診断ステップ

• When you click "Enable" and then save on the screen above, there is a request being sent to a REST endpoint (i.e. on Bitbucket Server). The analysis below can be obtained from the "Network" tab of the "developer tool" of your browser. Refer to Generate a HAR file for more details on how to get there.
  
  

• The error displayed above is caused by a JavaScript error. That's why there is nothing in the application server logs - the request doesn't make it to the server and the page errors that out.

• From the Developer Tools of your browser, you can see that by doing these calls manually from a client machine you should be able Enable/Disable analytics by using, for example, cURL:

  To Enable Analytics:

  curl -vvv -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" --user admin:admin -X PUT -d '{"analyticsEnabled": "true"}' http://localhost:7990/rest/analytics/1.0/config/enable

  To Disable Analytics:

  curl -vvv -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" --user admin:admin -X PUT -d '{"analyticsEnabled": "false"}' http://localhost:7990/rest/analytics/1.0/config/enable

• If you were able to successfully enable/disable Analytics by using cURL, the problem is in your browser. 
• It is likely that if you open an "Incognito Window" on your browser you won't hit the issue as this measure bypasses any browser user-installed add-on.
