Conversation
…m filter metadata Read io.kuadrant.logging.fields from the CheckRequest filter metadata and append resolved key-value pairs to the info-level "outgoing authorization response" log line. Mirrors the existing metricLabels() pattern for io.kuadrant.metrics.labels — supports plain strings, numbers, booleans, and deferred CEL expressions (e.g. auth.identity.sub) resolved against the post-auth pipeline context. Identity fields resolve on both allow and deny decisions (authorization deny still has resolved identity from phase 1), and are gracefully omitted when authentication fails.

Use log.RedactedAuthorizationJSON() when resolving CEL expressions in loggingFields() to prevent sensitive identity data from leaking into INFO-level logs. Rename inner variable from loggingFields to customFields to avoid shadowing the method name, matching the metricLabels() pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Andres Llausas <allausas@redhat.com>
The logging fields feature is PII opt-in by design (CONNLINK-1384): operators explicitly declare which fields to log via TelemetryPolicy. Using RedactedAuthorizationJSON would resolve opted-in fields to [REDACTED], defeating the feature's purpose.

I don't know how I feel about dumping user-defined values to the production logs. It could have serious implications on multi-tenant deployments. I think this needs further discussion.
I would at the very least encourage putting the feature behind an instance-level flag and/or making it opt-in in the AuthConfig (so admins could choose to disable it with an ValidatingAdmissionPolicy).
In case the conversation does not progress timely in the PR itself, please feel free to bring it to the next Kuadrant community call or offline in the #kuadrant Slack channel.

@guicassolato there's 2 different ways I can go to make this opt-in.
Which would you prefer? |
@andresllh, I would start with an instance-level Option 1 will require changes to the Authorino Operator too, but it's the cleanest way IMO to default to |
Add instance-level opt-in flag (default false) so cluster admins control whether filter metadata logging fields are resolved and emitted. Addresses multi-tenant concern raised in review.

We should have a way to block specific custom field names that overlap with fields of the current structured log record which already contains authorized, response and object. We want to make sure that a user won't be able to specify, for example, a custom field authorised: "true".
I believe the current zap JSON encoder does not de-duplicate keys. Rather, it emits duplicates verbatim. If the downstream JSON parsers keep the last occurrence for each duplicate, then a (malicious) user-defined field authorised: true could end up deceiving a consumer of the logs into believing that a denied request was actually allowed. For a feature whose entire purpose is auditing authorisation decisions, that'd be a real integrity hole.
Maybe an easy solution could be namespacing all custom field names?

I wonder if we should cap the resolved custom values to a maximum length. Especially dynamically resolved values from custom CEL expressions, such as request.headers['x-custom-header'] and request.body (when enabled), could cause STDOUT backpressure and ultimately even be a DoS vector.

How can we ensure this is compatible with redaction of sensitive data as controlled by the --log-redact-add-field, log-redact-remove-field, --log-redact-add-header and --log-redact-remove-header flags?
These flags were introduced to configure the mechanism that mitigates risks of exfiltrating sensitive data to debug logs. With this change, production-level logs are subject to the same risks.
How can a sysadmin control which user-defined customisations are allowed and which ones are not?

We're currently looking into enforcing a complexity budget for CEL expressions in an AuthConfig. Because these customisations come from request metadata they could end up dodging the limit enforcement.
Perhaps it's out of scope now, but we'll have to find a way to conciliate per-AuthConfig budgets with a complexity that can change per request.
My worry here is the added CEL cost on the hot path.

Another sanitisation concern – In production mode, Authorino prints structured log messages (processed as JSON) which comes with some escaping of newlines and control chars in the values. However, in development mode, Authorino uses the console encoder, which doesn't escape newlines for example. Even not being the most recommended mode for automated log parsing, lack of sanitisation could still pose a risk of breaking readability for users.
…uncation Prefix all custom logging field keys with "logging." to prevent collision with built-in structured log fields (authorized, response, object) that could allow log spoofing. Add --logging-fields-max-value-bytes flag (default 1024, env LOGGING_FIELDS_MAX_VALUE_BYTES) to cap resolved string and CEL values, preventing stdout backpressure from oversized values. Set to 0 to disable truncation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Andres Llausas <allausas@redhat.com>

for bullet 1: This is valid, but negligible. The purpose of this is to prevent multi KB values from hitting stdout, not to enforce the exact byte cap.
for bullet 2: for it to be negative it would most likely be misconfiguration that's very unlikely in practice.

@andresllh, understood. The current behavior meets the stated goal of preventing multi-kilobyte values from reaching stdout.
The negative-value behavior remains a low-probability misconfiguration case. I will leave the finding open for your disposition.

Learning: In `pkg/service/auth_pipeline.go`, `LoggingFieldsMaxValueBytes` is intended to prevent multi-kilobyte logging field values from reaching stdout. It is not intended to enforce an exact output byte cap after the `...(truncated)` marker is appended. Negative values are treated as an unlikely configuration error.

Kuadrant's TelemetryPolicy currently configures metrics via
io.kuadrant.metrics.labelsfilter metadata. Extending this to aloggingdomain (io.kuadrant.logging.fields) enables platform engineers to declare additional fields — such asauth.identity.sub— that appear in Authorino's per-request info-level logs without enabling debug verbosity.This is the Authorino-side consumer for a planned TelemetryPolicy logging stanza (see CONNLINK-1384). The wasm plugin's domain-agnostic
buildMetadataContextalready groups bindings by domain, so alogging.fieldsdomain in TelemetryPolicy would automatically produce theio.kuadrant.logging.fieldsmetadata key with zero wasm plugin changes.Changes
