First question: use log categories. Change log level for category where 
username/pwd are logged.If this is sitemap component, you can even 
assign it separate log category.

How do you prevent logging of passwords held in request parameters
and session attributes?  I do not want to turn off logging completely.

By the way, is there any sort of automated log rotation for cocoon
to prevent the logs getting too big?

2002-09-20 Thread Timothy Larson

Thank you both.
I now have the logs rotating, and think I understand
the log categories, but there is still one problem.

It would be helpfull if the request parameters and session attributes
were logged, but with certain ones not showing their values.

For example:
  SESSION ATTRIBUTES:
PARAM: 'username' VALUE: 'tdlarson'
PARAM: 'password' VALUE: '*'

Ideally, I would want to be able to specify which sensitive parameters
and attributes to hide the values of, possibly using wildcards.
Any ideas how to do this?

Tim

To do this you probably need to write your own logkit filter to
check the LogEvent for these strings and modify them if needed:

Cheers,
