Package: gatling
Version: 0.13-5+b3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
there's no way to disable logging of IP addresses in gatling itself as
all the logging is hard-coded. As logging is done to a custom log file
rather than via syslog, filtering via the syslog daemon isn't possible
either. The only way to add a post-processing filter is by hacking the
init script or disabling the init script and using a custom setup
(e.g. a hand-crafted systemd unit file). So disabling logging of IP
addresses for gatling on a given system requires a considerable amount
of work.
>From a technical point of view, this is fine. Logging of IP addresses
is very useful for debugging. From a legal point view, it's
problematic at best for public facing servers in at least Germany and
often advised against by lawyers and data protection officials (see
e.g. [1]). To be on the safe side (and to be privacy friendly),
administrators may want to disable logging of IP addresses entirely
(like libapache2-mod-removeip does for Apache) or put them through a
custom filter (that might e.g. filter out all IP addresses that are
not on an explicit white list containing company-internal IP
addresses).
