As the subject field says really.
The deployment I’m working on handles sensitive customer information and the client wants it hidden.
How can I do it if at all?
TIA,
Rod.
Can you be a little specific about which logs you are talking about here please?
Thanks

Apparently, with 8.1 you can… don’t think it works in 7.6, though…
“Enhanced Security features—GVP components now support the masking of sensitive data.”

In some apps (7.6+) you can use the log-filter and log-filter-data sections in the options tab of the app in CME, I’m not sure if these work in GVP or not.
But basically log-filter sets the standard behavior for KVPs in the logs and log-filter-data overrides this for specific KVPs. So you could set the option default-filter-type in log-filter to “copy”, this would allow all KVPs to be copied into the logs and then hide individual KVPs in the log-filter-data section i.e. V_SURNAME=hide
The available options are -
copy - The keys and values of the KVPs are copied to the log.
hide - The keys of the KVPs are copied to the log; the values are replaced with strings of asterisks.
skip - The KVPs are not copied to the log. NOTE – Using this for the default-filter-type will block all userdata etc from the logs.

Steve - I looked that up beforehand and found that, as you might expect, GVP has a totally different build to the core/Framework components, hence the log file masking techniques do not work on any GVP 7.6 components…
HTH?

Aah, typical !
That’s what I thought.
Have been thinking it may just be a case of reducung the logging level on GVP.
I think that, even if you did, the attached data items (KVP) may still appear - and they will not be masked…
You could always try it out..?
