generify-message-strings-when-possible
| Property Group | Log Message Elements To Include |
| Description | Indicates whether to use generified version of certain message strings, including diagnostic messages, additional information messages, authentication failure reasons, and disconnect messages.

Using generified versions of message strings may make those messages somewhat less useful since context-specific detail will not be included in the log message, but they may improve privacy and security because any potentially sensitive information will have been redacted. Note that in some cases, it may not be possible to completely generify message strings. For example, it is not possible to generify messages that originate outside the server codebase (like messages generated by a third-party library or received from an external service). |
