masking multiple occurences of the text

[opendba]

Hi,

I would like to mask multiple occurrences of the email in the message field. For example suppose we have following message:
message: user aa@ee.com send mail to bb@cc.com
Can I use functionality described in #2 (comment) to mask all matches or it only supports one match?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @opendba,

Thank you for the good feedback. As you mentioned currently sanitizer plugin only support only one match in the value. I plan to enhance plugin based on your request since this is a good suggestion.
I'm just thinking introducing something like "split_by_space" option for pattern_regex. With this option you can split your message by space at first and then apply regex for each block like:

• original message : user aa@ee.com send mail to bb@cc.com
• Split original messages by space : [user, aa@ee.com, send, mail, to, bb@cc.com]
• Apply regex on the items in the list above and mask matched items
• output message : user email_xxxxx send mail to email_xxxxx
  Does this work for you?

Hi @kubotat,

Seems great. Thank you very much. Perhaps it would be great to have split_by_token instead of split_by_space than we could apply same logic also for url's that contain several emails in the path.

Thanks a lot and looking forward for this new feature.
