Should be True just to be more Python-esque, e.g.

# statsd_on = False

So, why True as default and not False as default? False preserves backward compatibility with respect to UI experience.

The issue is if we default to false, then passwords are visible by default.

Wondering whether we want to include extras in the filtering. It's annoying, and I don't think that there is any secret stuff in there for existing connections. Thoughts?

criccomini · 2016-05-20T22:29:09Z

Note: installed locally, and this did appear to work.

criccomini · 2016-05-20T22:30:52Z

Actually, I take that back. It worked for the hooks. For variables, it only works for very specific fields:

    test    test    
    password    ********    
    secret_password test

I would have expected either all to be encrypted, or anything with 'password'/'secret' in it.

+    },
 }


Make sure you have specified the config value everywhere it is needed. I recall there are at least 3 places where new config needs to be specified.

For example, look at dags_are_paused_at_creation :

(venv) Sid-As-MacBook-Pro:airflow siddharth$ grep -ri dags_are_paused_at_creation . | grep -v Binary | grep -v static ./configuration.py: 'dags_are_paused_at_creation': True, ./configuration.py:dags_are_paused_at_creation = True ./configuration.py:dags_are_paused_at_creation = False ./models.py: is_paused_at_creation = configuration.getboolean('core', 'dags_are_paused_at_creation')

@criccomini updated the logic, it should check if any of the key_name contains any words in the confidential_fields list that models after sentry's list

Thx for providing a screen shot.. generally a requirement for all UI-changing PRs, though you can attach the screen shot here or in the JIRA. Both work.

criccomini · 2016-05-21T21:56:36Z

@mattuuh7, this is looking good.

Can you remove extras from being masked? I think the cons outweigh the pros of masking it. (I know this is annoying, considering how much time you spent trying to figure out how to mask it. Sorry. :()
Can you rename hide_encrypted_ui_fields to hide_sensitive_variable_fields?
Could you add some docs either to the .rst or to the config comments saying which variables get masked (password, secret, etc).
Could you squash your commit, and rename both the commit message and title of the PR as: 'AIRFLOW-45: Support Hidden Airflow Variables'

When running this off of master, I get:

  File "/Users/chrisr/Code/airflow/airflow/www/views.py", line 2038, in hidden_field_formatter
    return getattr(model, name)
  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.10-intel/egg/sqlalchemy/orm/attributes.py", line 293, in __get__
    return self.descriptor.__get__(instance, owner)
  File "/Users/chrisr/Code/airflow/airflow/models.py", line 3200, in get_val
    "Can't decrypt _val, configuration is missing")
AirflowException: Can't decrypt _val, configuration is missing

This can be reproduced by going to a fresh airflow install, running airflow initdb, airflow webserver, and opening the variables UI.

criccomini · 2016-05-25T03:11:52Z

Removing val from:

column_list = ('key', 'val', 'is_encrypted',)

Made the exception go away. The patch appears to work without it, but val isn't shown in the table view anymore.

criccomini · 2016-05-25T03:16:22Z

I've determined the issue was with some rows that somehow persisted even after I ran airflow initdb. Running airflow resetdb fixed the issue.

Ready to merge. Could you change the commit message to:
