You can use LOGDNA_REDACT_REGEX
environment variable to redact parts of the log line, replacing matches with
[REDACTED]. Additionally, you can use LOGDNA_LINE_EXCLUSION_REGEX
variable to define entire lines to exclude.
Important considerations:
- It is recommended to avoid producing logs with PII.
- All regular expressions use Perl-style syntax with case sensitivity by default. You can disable
case-sensitivity using the
i
flag in a non-capturing group, e.g.,(?i:my_case_insensitive_regex)
. - You can use comma to separate multiple regex in an environment variable value, e.g.,
(?:first),(?:second)
. If you need to match the comma character in a pattern, use the unicode character reference:\u002C
.
Here is a summary of regex patterns commonly used for log line redaction and exclusion to add to your agent DaemonSet yaml file.
Note: we recommend that you test and verify these regex patterns with your log data; LogDNA did not create these regex patterns and does not provide support for their use.
Redact email addresses according to the RFC 5322 regex specification.
