Description

Currently when opening the UI in micro-services mode and you pick a component that is not a querier or query-frontend, we show 405 errors (as the local query APIs are unavailable). Instead we should direct the user to connect to the query-frontend instead.

The only useful UI functions are probably the admin ones in this case

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the UI code that handles the error response when connecting to a non query component and update the error message to guide the user to connect to the query frontend.
