[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9577) Log process environment variable on HBase service startup

["Nick Dimiduk (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9577?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13771403#comment-13771403 ] 

Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-9577:
-------------------------------------

A couple thoughts:

# should probably leave it disabled by default, rather than enabled.
# why not always log this info at log level DEBUG or TRACE?
# how about making the exclusion keywords configurable as well? ie, I may want to exclude "passwd", not just "password"

> HBase services already logs information related to JVM properties and command line arguments used to start the services which have been immensely helpful to investigate issues.
> One thing that they do not log is the environment variables and an unintended variable in the environment could lead to a scenario not reproducible anywhere else including its original location if the service is restarted differently.
> We should log environment variables (excluding those which may contains credentials) on service startup with option to disable this logging.
