Logback's DBAppender logs all properties in its context and MDC to the
database. I would like to control which properties are logged,
specifically filtering out certain values, but I can't find any
options to do so. The documentation is terse:

> The logging_event_property is used to store the keys and values contained in 
> the MDC or the Context

Is it possible to exclude certain properties from being logged?

Here is an example:

Logback is configured with a `DBAppender` that loads its properties
from `vct.properties`:

        <configuration>
                <property resource="vct.properties" />
                
                <appender name="DB" 
class="ch.qos.logback.classic.db.DBAppender">
                        <connectionSource 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.db.DataSourceConnectionSource">
                                <dataSource 
class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource">
                                        
<driverClass>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClass>
                                        
<jdbcUrl>jdbc:mysql://${log.db.host}:${log.db.port}/${log.db.schema}</jdbcUrl>
                                        <user>${log.db.username}</user>
                                        <password>${log.db.password}</password>
                                </dataSource>
                        </connectionSource>
                </appender>
        
                <root level="DEBUG">
                        <appender-ref ref="DB" />
                </root>
        </configuration>


`vct.properties` has the connection settings:

        log.db.host=localhost
        log.db.port=3306
        log.db.schema=logs_development
        log.db.username=loguser
        log.db.password=logpass

When an event is logged, all of the connection settings are logged:

        mysql> select * from logging_event_property where event_id=1;
        
+----------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
        | event_id | mapped_key          | mapped_value                         
     |
        
+----------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
        |        1 | log.db.host         | localhost                            
     |
        |        1 | log.db.password     | logpass                              
     |
        |        1 | log.db.port         | 3306                                 
     |
        |        1 | log.db.schema       | logs_development                     
     |
        |        1 | log.db.username     | loguser                              
     |
        
+----------+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
