​
Database

Logs are stored in SQLite: 
logging:  database: ./data/pasteguard.db
In Docker, this is persisted via volume: 
volumes:  - ./data:/pasteguard/data

​
Retention

Logs older than retention_days are automatically deleted: 
logging:  retention_days: 30 # Keep for 30 days  # retention_days: 7 # Keep for 7 days  # retention_days: 0 # Keep forever

​
Content Logging

​
Raw Content (not recommended)

Logs original request/response including PII: 
logging:  log_content: true # Contains sensitive data!

​
Masked Content (default)

Logs masked version for dashboard preview: 
logging:  log_masked_content: true
Shows what was actually sent to OpenAI or Anthropic with PII replaced by placeholders.

​
No Content

Disable all content logging: 
logging:  log_content: false  log_masked_content: false
Only metadata (timestamps, models, PII detected) is logged.

​
Security

  • Secret content is never logged, even if log_content: true
  • Only secret types are logged if log_detected_types: true
  • Masked content shows placeholders like [[EMAIL_ADDRESS_1]], not real PII
