 - `consoleStyle`: `"pretty"` or `"json"`. The earlier `"compact"` value is retired; [`openclaw doctor --fix`](/cli/doctor) maps it to `"pretty"`.
 - `maxFileBytes`: maximum active log file size in bytes before rotation (positive integer; default: `104857600` = 100 MB). OpenClaw keeps up to five numbered archives beside the active file.
 - `redactPatterns`: regexes for best-effort masking of console output, file logs, OTLP log records, and persisted session transcript text. Setting this **replaces** the built-in default patterns for log and transcript output, so include the defaults you still want; omitting them also turns off form-body and structured auth-header redaction. Tool payload redaction is separate and always merges your patterns with the defaults.
-- Redaction is always on and is no longer configurable. The retired `logging.redactSensitive` switch (including its `"off"` value) is removed by [`openclaw doctor --fix`](/cli/doctor); the runtime always applies `tools`-mode redaction to logs and transcripts. UI, tool, and diagnostic safety surfaces redact secrets independently of this policy.
