# 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.
