How can sensitive information in logs be masked in Dynatrace?

Masking sensitive information in logs within Dynatrace can be effectively achieved through modifications in configuration files. This method allows users to specify which types of data should be masked or obfuscated before they are recorded in the logs. By configuring the appropriate settings in these files, users can ensure that sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII), credentials, or other confidential data does not appear in the logs, thus enhancing security and compliance with data protection regulations.

While there are other measures related to logging and data protection, such as using specific logging formats or encrypting log data, those methods do not directly address the ability to mask information within the logs themselves. User permissions settings also pertain more to access controls rather than data masking. Therefore, modifying configuration files is essential for effectively masking sensitive data in Dynatrace logs.
