# Exclude Logs

Exclude Logs defines which logs to exclude in each source and each task. These logs are your window into what is happening for each request, and these logs can be observed on the Midpoint Dashboard or through the GraphQL API.

If you have sensitive information passing through your midpoint, e.g. a customers phone number or a secret API Key, you can choose to exclude logs from a particular souce or task. This ensures you log the information you need throughout the lifespan of a request, while avoiding the creation of logs that contain sensitive information.&#x20;

Every single event can be excluded from logs. For a complete list of values that can be put into each source and each event, look at the source or task description in each component's documentation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.midpointapi.com/midpoint-documentation/core-concepts/midpoints/source-and-task-definitions/exclude-logs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
