logger.warn({ err: new Error('Warn'), userId:'1e7b8d', age: 17 }, 'User is under 18');

Sensitive Data
chpr-logger
can filter sensitive data based on specific keys and replace the
values by __SENSITIVE_DATA__
string. This feature is enabled by default but
you can skip this (not recommanded) by setting the environment variable
LOGGER_USE_SENSITIVE_DATA_STREAM
to false
.
In addition, you can update the pattern on which to make the match with the
environment variable LOGGER_SENSITIVE_DATA_PATTERN
. Its value must represent
a valid capturing regular expression.
