Scrub client IPv4/IPv6 addresses, X-Forwarded-For chains, URI query JWTs, session cookies, and upstream credentials 100% inside local browser memory before pasting into ChatGPT, Claude, or support tickets.

awk '{$1="0.0.0.0"; sub(/token=[^ &"]+/ ,"token=[REDACTED]"); print}' /var/log/nginx/access.log⚠️ Why Naive CLI / Regex Fails: Naive awk/sed column replacement breaks when X-Forwarded-For headers contain comma-separated proxy chains, and misses Bearer tokens or session IDs inside JSON-formatted Nginx logs.
🛡️ Pre-LLM & Ticket Safety: Sanitize Nginx access.log & error.log in local browser RAM before pasting into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or Jira incident tickets.
Core capabilities built into Nginx Access Log Redactor
Masks real visitor IPs into consistent private subnet tokens (e.g. 10.240.x.x) so you can still trace rate-limit spikes from a single client without leaking GDPR personal data.
Automatically detects and redacts OAuth codes, password reset tokens, signed S3 URLs, and Bearer JWTs leaked in Nginx request lines and Referer fields.
Handles classic CLF/Combined space-delimited access logs, upstream error.log stack traces, and structured JSON log_format lines without breaking GoAccess or jq.
Download a zero-dependency offline HTML5 studio to scrub multi-megabyte Nginx log captures directly inside restricted bastion hosts.
Zero configuration, zero cloud server dependencies, instant execution.
Paste or upload your Nginx combined access.log, JSON access log, or upstream error.log directly into local browser memory.
Choose deterministic IP subnet masking, URI query token scrubbing, or strict GDPR/SOC2 Safe-Harbor anonymization.
Inspect preserved HTTP status codes (200/401/502), latency metrics, and masked IPs/tokens in under 50ms with zero server traffic.
Copy the first 70% of sanitized log lines immediately for free, or unlock 100% unblurred export and the offline PRO appliance.

Eliminate vendor lock-in and cloud upload security risks.
Datadog charges recurring per-GB ingestion and retention fees. Sanitize ad-hoc Nginx logs locally for a one-time $19 buyout (or €3.99 24h pass).
Under GDPR Art. 32, raw client IP addresses and session cookies in access.log are personal data. Local browser RAM scrubbing ensures zero third-party exposure.
Hand-written awk/sed scripts shift column indices when User-Agent or X-Forwarded-For strings contain spaces. Our structure-aware parser keeps quotes and columns intact.
Deep technical breakdown driving our client-side productivity engine.
Behind Cloudflare or ALB, the real client IP sits in the trailing $http_x_forwarded_for field while $remote_addr is just the load balancer. Our engine scrubs both.
Magic-link logins, webhook secrets, and pre-signed S3 query strings routinely land in Nginx access logs and get leaked when engineers paste logs into Jira.
Nginx error.log lines often print full upstream URLs including basic-auth passwords and internal Redis/Postgres socket paths during 502 Bad Gateway incidents.
No monthly bills. No sneaky price hikes. Pay once, use forever.

Everything you need to know about privacy, local memory execution, and buyouts.
No. Every byte of your Nginx log is parsed and scrubbed 100% locally inside your browser's RAM. Zero network requests are made.
Naive awk column replacement breaks whenever X-Forwarded-For or User-Agent strings contain spaces, and flat sed misses JWTs inside JSON logs or Referer headers.
Yes. Our deterministic subnet pseudonymizer maps each distinct IPv4/IPv6 address to a consistent salted token within your session so you can debug DDoS or rate-limiting patterns.
Yes. The local parser automatically detects standard CLF/Combined access logs, Nginx error.log lines, and JSON-structured access logs.
Yes. It strips Bearer tokens, eyJ... JWTs, api_key query parameters, and Basic Auth credentials that trigger GH013 and gitleaks.
