Hi

When using Hint based autodiscover, it is possible to configure usernames and password for modules like MySql using labels on a docker container.  
The problem with this is that all labels are logged into elasticsearch, including the password label.  
I tried using ingest pipelines to filter it away, but the MySql module uses its own version specific pipeline, so it will only work if I override the pipeline on every upgrade.

Is it possible to set the password in a way that wont be picked up by the docker module?

Best Regards  
Rasmus
