So this is the same issue as described in the now-closed issue [here](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/logs-have-useful-content-replaced-with-asterisks-e-g/33198), but basically we have the “environment” env variable set to “test” which is a pretty reasonable thing to do, and now all of our logs have all the instances of the word “test” converted to “\*\*\*\*”, which is quite annoying. I appreciate the intention of this feature, but is it possible to turn it off or at least have the option of a white list?

All the best,  
Oisín

Heya @OisinMoran - we can turn off this feature per-project if you submit a support ticket 🙂 We are working to improve this feature with self-service opt-out.
