Getting Data In

How to build a regular expression in order to mask password text in props.conf?

caitcait
Explorer

I have the following string in the events and I would like to mask the password text using sedcmd.

Content={"Login":"stuff@stuff.com","Password":"thingsandstuff"}

Does anyone have any thoughts how to build the regex to do this?

Thank you
