Passwords in Superset Action Log (DatabaseRestApi.import_)
<!-- Answer -->
Your current masking code is safe and will not skip any log entries. By
applying `_mask_sensitive` to `kwargs` before passing them to `super().log()`,
you ensure that all records—including bulk scenarios where `records` is a
list—are masked and logged as expected. Superset's logger processes the
`records` list internally, and your recursive masking covers all nested dicts
and lists, so you don't need to handle `records` separately unless you want to
inspect or print them before logging.
As long as your masking function preserves the structure and type of the
payload (especially lists under `records`), all logs will be created correctly.
The only limitation is that secrets inside stringified JSON fields (e.g.,
`"passwords": "{\"db\": \"secret\"}"`) won't be masked by this approach, but
this does not cause skipped logs—just unmasked secrets if present.
Your implementation is efficient and matches Superset's logging requirements
for both single and bulk events.
