Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there are several places within the dataprepper codebase where error logs contain sensitive information. It would be nice to downgrade some of these to WARN or INFO so that error logs can be used by third parties for debugging if neccessary.

Describe the solution you'd like
Go through the codebase and lower the log level of any error messages that contain sensitive information inside the message.

Research direction

Review the Data Prepper codebase for error log messages that include sensitive information, since the issue does not identify specific files or tests. Determine which messages should be WARN or INFO, then verify that the affected logging behavior no longer exposes sensitive details at error level.
