Connection name in task log

BuTbka — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi!
Is the any way to log connection name instead of asterisks?
Now in the logs I see
OLEDB CONNECT TO *** (XPassword is ***)

I think you can get the current connection name using ConnectString() and then log it yourself.

Let vConnectString = ConnectString();
Trace 'Connected to: $(vConnectString)';

@rwunderlich thanks for solution!
But we have a lot of dashboards and in this case we will have to edit scripts for almost all of them (
I thought that somewhere in the configs there was an option to disable asterisks.

No option to disable the asterisks. It's considered a security risk to log the connection string as it may contain credential info.
