Base# filter_parameter_logging

# Replace sensitive parameter data from the request log.
# Filters parameters that have any of the arguments as a substring.
# Looks in all subhashes of the param hash for keys to filter.
# If a block is given, each key and value of the parameter hash and all
# subhashes is passed to it, the value or key
# can be replaced using String#replace or similar method.
#
# Examples:
# filter_parameter_logging
# => Does nothing, just slows the logging process down
#
# filter_parameter_logging :password
# => replaces the value to all keys matching /password/i with "[FILTERED]"
#
# filter_parameter_logging :foo, "bar"
# => replaces the value to all keys matching /foo|bar/i with "[FILTERED]"
#
# filter_parameter_logging { |k,v| v.reverse! if k =~ /secret/i }
# => reverses the value to all keys matching /secret/i
#
# filter_parameter_logging(:foo, "bar") { |k,v| v.reverse! if k =~ /secret/i }
# => reverses the value to all keys matching /secret/i, and
# replaces the value to all keys matching /foo|bar/i with "[FILTERED]"
