[Feature request]: Allow disabling of query logs

[kshcherban]

This is a feature request.
Would be nice to have query log completely disabled for better privacy.

Query log can be enabled by default as it is now but should be optionally disabled with a change to a configuration.

You can disable the query log, just remove queryLog section from the config file

Thank you, wasn't clear from documentation to me. Closing.

In example configuration there's no query log section, but docker logs all queries. Do I miss something? I use version 0.14.

Ok, I think, there is a misunderstanding: If queryLog is enabled, blocky logs each request with response in a CSV file. If queryLog is disabled, blocky logs only to stdout. The only way to disable it is to increase the log Level (to warn for example)

Yes, the idea is to allow intentional disabling of query log. Not sure how many users need this but it would obviously increase privacy.

ok, I know what you mean. I think, it would make sense not to log each request with detailed information on info log level (which is default). I would leave detailed logging (is useful for debugging or investigation of dns problems), but maybe use some kind of "special" logger which is disabled by default or just on debug level.

Solution:
new configuration property: "logPrivacy", default false. If set to "true", it will obfuscate request and response information (replace every alphanumeric character with *)
