Redacting Logs

Redacts secrets and personal data from log files before they are shared: API keys, tokens, email addresses, and IP addresses, replacing each with a typed placeholder. Use when the user asks to redact, sanitize, or scrub a log.

Redact a log file

Replace every secret and personal identifier in the named log file with a typed placeholder.

Steps

  1. Read the log file the user names.
  2. Replace matches of the patterns below with their placeholders. Also redact anything that looks sensitive.
    • API keys and bearer tokens → [REDACTED-KEY]
    • Email addresses → [REDACTED-EMAIL]
    • IPv4/IPv6 addresses → [REDACTED-IP]
  3. Write the redacted copy next to the original with a .redacted suffix — never overwrite the original, because the original is the only place the unredacted evidence exists.
  4. Report how many replacements were made, per placeholder type.

Output

The redacted file's path and the per-type replacement counts.
