I am using ansible to collect the network device’s dispaly cu, and in the collected content all the digit 1s are replaced with \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I turn it off?

1. I did not define no\_log in my playbook
2. ansible version: 2.9.27
3. My custom module: using the paramiko library to log in to the network device, session.send to send commands, output = session.recv(2048).decode(“utf-8”, “replace”) to receive the device’s returned value.

Is your password for some reason maybe `1`? Or does the `cyw_ssh_more` module use `no_log=True` for `enable_password` in the argument spec? Without knowing what `cyw_ssh_more` is and what it does it’s hard to say…

I just found out that indeed the enablepass was set to 1, and it’s nolog. Thank you very much for your explanation!!!

If you set `no_log=True` because ansible-test complained that the argument didn’t have `no_log`, note that you can also set `no_log=False` to mark arguments that are not sensitive, but that trigger the ansible-test warning 🙂
