    Description

      For example:
      At the audit settings, if one disables audit for user "sumedh/couchbase", the name gets printed in system event log. Something like this:

      [{"timestamp":"2022-01-10T06:30:46.872Z","uuid":"633156f6-b283-056c-4be6-2d76bcdd17ca","event_id":10243,"component":"views","description":"view engine settings changed","severity":"info","extra_attributes":{"section":"security","key":"audit","old_value":"[{audit_enabled,true},\n {disabled_users,[{\"sumedh\",local}]},\n {enabled_events,[20480,20482,20483,20485,20488,20489,20490,20491,20492,20493,\n         20494,32768,32769,32773,32774,32775,32776,32777,32778,32779,\n         32781,32784,32789,32790,32791,32792,32794,32797,36865,36866,\n         40960,40961,40962,40964,40966,45056,45058,45059,45060,45062,\n         45063,45064,45065,45067,45068,45069,45071,45072,45073,\n         45074]}]","new_value":"[{audit_enabled,false},\n {disabled_users,[{\"sumedh\",local}]}

      And the PRD says that:

      Usernames, Passwords, Certificates, Document IDs, Document Keys and Values, Email Addresses and other sensitive data are absolutely not allowed to be stored in the System Event Log.

      Ns-server encodes users (or uses UUID in place of names). Something like this:

      "extra_attributes":{"user":"Cr9YfZyUGVZwVT6rilEXSG/J29B8ZdZVq8dGs7QeTt0=","domain":"local"}}]"extra_attributes":{"user":"Cr9YfZyUGVZwVT6rilEXSG/J29B8ZdZVq8dGs7QeTt0=","domain":"local"}}]%MCEPASTEBIN%

      So maybe something like that needs to be done here too, I think.
