Is it possible to log message payload in broker logs?
Could someone please know how to configure it if it is possible?
Thanks,

Hi @rdesoju,
No, it is not possible to log individual message payloads in the broker logs.

@rdesoju there are a couple of reasons for this: first, because PubSub+ message rates are so high, we would fill these logs files very quickly. Another reason is that this breaks the security isolation of management and data planes - a management user would be able to see all message data. Yet another security issue is that you’d be storing message data unencrypted in the log.

Thank you @marc and @TomF !!
Yeah, it makes much more sense.
