Hi! Does Canton write any transactional data (smart contract data) to log files for debugging/trace purposes by default, or at any of the logging levels? If yes, is there any configuration in Canton to control and prohibit writing of any sensitive or restricted type of data to log files? Thanks ---

Hi Ian. We don’t log confidential data by default: [Monitoring — Canton 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT documentation](https://www.canton.io/docs/dev/user-manual/usermanual/monitoring.html#detailed-logging) Cheers, Ratko ---

Thanks @Ratko_Veprek . I see there is a new section added compared to the [release documentation](https://docs.daml.com/canton/usermanual/monitoring.html) that I checked earlier and this new section answers the question.
