[Req]: Remove personal information from log files #575
Description
Component
Other
What problem are you facing?
When generating log files, personal information should not exist in them. Asking for that, i mainly have folder names in mind. For instance:
- Instead of storing "C:\Users<UserName>\Blah...", perhaps %USERPROFILE% could be stored.
- Instead of storing "UserName" (if applicable), %USERNAME% could be stored.
- Instead of storing "Domain" (if applicable), %USERDOMAIN% could be stored.
In any case, i believe my point is clear. If it is known that some things in log files may reveal personal information, try to avoid them.
How can we fix this?
In log files, replace things like UserName, Domain, ServerName with certain neutral tokens that help you understand what's going on without revealing personal information.
What alternatives or workarounds exist?
Anything else we should know?
