Ruby Forum Ruby on Rails > how can I exclude email texts from the log?

hi

does anyone know how to prevent email texts to be written in the logs?
date, from, to, cc, bcc, subject, etc should stay in the log, only the
body to be excluded.

thanks

Luma

The filter_parameter_logging method should do what you need.  Something
like...

filter_parameter_logging { |k,v| v.replace '' if k == 'email_body'}

It lives in ActionController::Base at api.rubyonrails.org.

well, the logs also shouldn't contain email-attachments (which need
most space).

perhaps it will be easier to ban emails completely from the log files.
How can I do that?

It's not super nice but we've got this in our production.rb:
config.action_mailer.logger = nil
