Sensitive data obfuscation

As any application monitoring system, the data collected by groundcover is by nature sensitive and contains payloads of full requests and queries. Raw traces can go a long way in a troubleshooting process, but you can choose to obfuscate their payload.

How to use

Prepare values override

Write the yaml content below to obfuscate.yaml, this will override the default values.yaml

agent:
  alligator:
    obfuscateData: true

groundcover deploy --values obfuscate.yaml

Using Helm on New Installation
