Issue Description
Revisiting selective logging for cloud functions with base64 output (referencing #3918)
I'm bringing up the previously old closed issue #3918. Still seems relevant and still hasn't a fully solution.
Summary of Issue #3918:
- Requested a way to disable logging for specific cloud functions to prevent large base64 strings from bloating log files.
- Setting
logLeveltowarnsolves the base64 logging issue but also suppresses valuable I/O information from other functions.
Current Situation:
- Large base64 strings are logged for the specific cloud function, causing excessive log file sizes.
- Setting
logLeveltowarnprevents base64 logging but also suppresses necessary logging from other functions.
Thank you for considering this request!
