Unless you are somehow going to not use IP to get the data from client to server.. it will be retrievable in multiple ways. The simplest is Log A (http app) will have timestamp and uuid. Log B (apache/nginx/etc) will have timestamp and ip. Log merge is possible. Turning off Log B sounds like an option, but you turn off the ability to troubleshoot if Log A is working or not. And if you aren't sure if you have accurate data in Log A.. you are back where you started. Turning off timestamp in log A is also problematic because we still need to figure out things like 'when was the last time we saw it', have we recorded it already within a timeframe, etc. Keeping it ephemeral in memory is an idea but the usual 'oh we had to restart this service because of a leak in the stack' makes that impractical. Currently I have a hard time not seeing us needing the IP address. If all I record is uuid.. what if we have 10k ips all with the same uuid? How will we know? Plus if a sizable percentage don't use this.. you will still need to do the old method of counting via ip address to know that. Again merge is possible and could be probable. I would like to think these are 'solvable' problems.. but I also am quite aware that pretty much every pseudo-anonymization method falls over pretty darn quickly due to yet one more thing that has to be recorded somewhere. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
