[Bug 1771493] Re: Add option to hide ipaddress in neutron logs

 

I'm going to close this for a couple of reasons.

1) It doesn't seem like this is specific to neutron, so it's not the
correct place to make such a change.

2) The neutron code has no concept of a particular person, everything is
just a project ID, which isn't an identifiable piece of information
without another mapping, for example, from Keystone.

3) At the end of the day, an operation such as filtering IP addresses
from logs seems like something for an operator, and something they would
have to do for a lot more than just this.

If there is a clearer document on what should be done here please update
this bug with more information.

Title:
  Add option to hide ipaddress in neutron logs

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  As some might know, EU has released a new law, that gets in action on
  May25th 2018, that prohibits misuse of any personal data corresponding
  to a natural person. Any information that can directly or indirectly
  lead to tracking of a natural person can be captured, stored or
  processed only with the consent of the natural person. IP Address is
  categorized as one such data. It can be debated if ipaddress can be
  classified as personal data or not but that would be beyond the scope
  of this defect.

  The below log statements from neutron log displays the fixed ips
  associated with the VMs provisioned. The VMs provisioned from an Cloud
  platform like OpenStack could host someone's website and thus could be
  used to identify a natural person. Having said that, this
  information(logged ip) could be very useful from a serviceability
  perspective. So, the question is is it possible to add a mechanism
  such that we are able to configure whether this information should be
  logged or not?
