How to unhide redacted values

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I am using elastic for logging in asp.net (Elastic.Extensions.Logging) I am looking at the logs through Logs in Explorer(Beta). When I look at the logDetails and I check the url.query that was used in this scope the parameters are redacted, how can I see the value of these parameters in the logs, instead of having it as [redacted]?

Hello and welcome,

Please show some example of what you are seeing.

As far as I know Elastic and Kibana does not redact anything by itself, so if you have some redacted data it may already come this way from the source.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am doing the logging in an API. When I open the log details window for one of the logs (in the explorer(BETA)), I can see the parameters that were sent to the api. However the values are redacted:

"url.query": [
      "?value1=Redacted&value2=Redacted&value3=Redacted&value4=Redacted"

This is what I see in the Log Details. I would want to be able to see the values I sent to the API.

Thanks

Can you share some screenshot? I have no clue where you are seeing this or from where this is coming from.

But as mentioned, neither Kibana nor Elasticsearch will redact anything unless told so, if you are seeing things redacted it is coming already redacted from the source.
