EODCrafter 181 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Hi, just joined the community a few weeks ago and I repeatedly see advice "Upload your Server Logs". I have done a quick NotePad++ search on my logfile and in plain text it contains my login information for my IPTV Service. Are people aware of this prior to uploading logs that everyone has access too? How can you upload redacted logs if I ever have a need too? Thanks, Great software BTW!
CBers 7451 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Yes, we are aware. You need to sanitise your logs for your own needs before uploading. 1
ebr 16185 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 FYI - for the casual reader - your Emby login credentials will not be compromised in the logs. However IP addresses (may be public) or things like external 3rd party app access may or may not be. As CBers said, sanitize to your own needs. Thanks.

As a Newbie and not a computer programmer...Maybe it would be prudent to add a disclaimer in the Wiki https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/790-how-to-report-a-problem/

Here is a snippet from my log that shows this info..... 2018-08-21 05:59:24.039 Info App: Profile: Android-Exo, Path: http://link to service I have redacted@[member="gmail"].com/password-redacted/55664.ts, It's a human readable link and password.
ryandavidg 30 Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Can I just clarify something that I've wondered about, it's clear we have to sanitise the extracts that are posted as text in plain sight, but the full logs that are uploaded and attached to posts, are they accessible to anyone, or only devs/site admins? Just wondering as I've obviously never tried to access someone else's. (It might be a good idea if this was explained in the 'How to report a problem' guide) - edit: as suggested above.

Note: Your server log may contain sensitive information such as public IP addresses and/or external service login information (e.g. IPTV urls). Use a program like Notepad++ to obscure this information before posting if you wish. 2

I just checked and there is over 200 instances of my login info in the server log...Hope I don't have any problems, that's a lot of editing... I would rather see a secure area for uploading logs for just the Admins. Just a thought. (Probably why crappy Plex never added IPTV Support) Edited August 21, 2018 by EODCrafter

EODCrafter 181 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 Those are not Emby login credentials. No, @@ebr...Those are my credentials to my Paid IPTV Service. With that login you could hijack my connection.

Spaceboy 2573 Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) It can but then you are reliant on the person you want pm it to fixing it. There are many other helpful users that may chip in more timely if you post it to the open forum redacted. I’ve done the pm route and I’m back to making them publicly available.
