NAME

Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Redact - Add stack traces without sensitive information in Log::Log4perl logs.

DESCRIPTION

Log::Log4perl offers the ability to add stack traces to layouts using %T in pattern layouts (see Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout).

However, stack traces contain a list of arguments, and those arguments can be sensitive data like passwords or credit card data. This module redacts the sensitive information, replacing them with '[redacted]' so that the stack traces can be PCI-compliant.

VERSION

Version 1.0.3

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Redact;

Here's an example of log4perl configuration that outputs a redacted trace (use %E instead of %T) :

log4perl.logger = WARN, logfile
log4perl.appender.logfile                          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.logfile.filename                 = $file_name
log4perl.appender.logfile.layout                   = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Redact
log4perl.appender.logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %p: (%X{host}) %P %F:%L %M - %m{chomp}%E
log4perl.appender.logfile.recreate                 = 1
log4perl.appender.logfile.mode                     = append

To set your own list of arguments to redact, rather than use the defaults in Carp::Parse::Redact, you need to set a package variable $SENSITIVE_ARGUMENT_NAMES, ie

$Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Redact::SENSITIVE_ARGUMENT_NAMES = 
[
	'password',
	'luggage_combination',
	'favorite_pony',
];

And hash keys in the stack trace that match these names will have their values replaced with '[redacted]'. Be sure to do this after you have initialized your logger.
