How to define regex for masking all words which contain "password"

I use logback (logback-gelf) to log in my spring boot application. It has configuration xml file and I try to write regular expression to mask all words containing "passwords".

In configuration file. I write this:

%replace(%msg){'(?i)(password"\S+?")(\S+?)(".+)', '$1****$3'}  //I use (?i) for case insensitiveness

It works but only for one password in a log. For example if my log like this:

{"oldPassword":"123456","password":"654321"}

It convert it to:

{"oldPassword":"****","password":"654321"}

I want to mask all words which contain password.

How can I do this?

By the way it works on online regex tester but don't works on logback-spring

Solution

  • (?i)(password"\S+?")(\S+?)"

    This works for me.

    Thanks @JvdV for helps.
