Variable logging levels within a chef recipe

Chef Infra (archive)
1

HI
In the client.rb the log level is set to info
When running a recipe, it inherits the above log level
I have a recipe which does say three things , for example
package "component"
file “somefile” do
end
service "component service"
When chef-client is copying the file from chef server to the node, it writes out the content of the file in the chef-client log.
I would like to suppress logging only for that part of the recipe from within the recipe.
Is it possible? Any pointers would be appreciated?
Regards
mg

With a file resource, just pass the attribute:

sensitive true

and Chef won't log the contents.
