Tool to masking sensitive info in logs and diag

dk_srini — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:53:12 GMT

Hi All,

Do we have any tool or utility to mask all the sensitive information (like hostname, ip, etc) inside the logfiles and Diagnostic bundle before uploading that to Cloudera cases?

Also, I can see some of the service logs suffixes with hostname, I need to mask them too. like those below example:-

hadoop-cmf-hdfs-NAMENODE-cdp-master.log.out

to ->

hadoop-cmf-hdfs-NAMENODE-xxx-xxxxx.log.out

Hello @dk_srini ,

it is a great question! Have you seen this section of the Cloudera Doc about Redaction of Sensitive Information from Diagnostic Bundles, please?

If it covers your enquiry, please mark this answer as a solution.

Best regards:

Ferenc

@Bender Thanks for your reply. It is partial resolution. I am aware of the Redaction, it only redacts hostnames and ip's inside the logs files, but when creating Diagnostic Bundles some logs and folders create with a hostname and ip's in suffix or prefix. So we need a solution for that too.
