Hello Veeam Community!
I'm excited to introduce a Python script that I've developed for anonymizing Veeam Backup & Replication logs. Protecting sensitive information in log files is crucial, and this script simplifies the process while maintaining the integrity of your logs.
Acknowledgments:
Before diving into the details, I'd like to express my gratitude:
- Bertrand: Thank you for the original idea that inspired this script and for your valuable improvement suggestions. Your input was instrumental in making this script more robust and feature-rich.
- Eric: A big thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the development process. Your feedback and insights helped shape this tool.
Disclaimer:
I want to clarify that I'm not a developer by profession, but rather a member of the Veeam community who saw the need for a tool like this. The script has been created out of a passion for data privacy and a desire to contribute to our community.
Key Features:
- Anonymization: The script can anonymize sensitive information such as server names, user accounts, IP addresses, and more, helping you comply with data privacy regulations.
- Mapping Table: It generates a mapping table of original and anonymized values, making it easy to trace back anonymized data when needed.
- Extensible: The script is highly extensible, allowing you to add custom anonymization patterns or adapt it for other log formats.
- Open Source: The script is open-source and available for the Veeam community to use and contribute to.
How to Get Started:
I've posted the script on GitHub, along with detailed documentation and usage instructions. You can find it here: https://github.com/JMousqueton/VeeamLogAnonymizer
Feedback and Contributions:
I welcome your feedback, suggestions, and contributions to make this script even better. Feel free to open issues on GitHub, submit pull requests.
I hope this script proves valuable to the Veeam community in maintaining data privacy and compliance. Give it a try, and let me know your thoughts!
