Is there a way to mask/hide the jdbc\_password parameter.

Config File:  
input {  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "C:\Program Files\DbVisualizer\jdbc\oracle\ojdbc6.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:oracle:thin:@TEST:1244:TESTDB"  
jdbc\_user =\> "user\_id"  
#jdbc\_password =\> ""  
jdbc\_validate\_connection =\> true  
jdbc\_fetch\_size =\> 1000  
schedule =\> "\* \* \* \* \*"  
statement =\> "Select EMP\_ID from Employee\_data"  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
protocol =\> http  
index =\> "testdb"  
document\_type =\> "TESTDB"  
host =\> "127.0.0.1:9200"
