How to disable component input/output values from appearing in langflow ui logs?

[aniketghumed14]

Hi Langflow team,

I'm building a custom component that handles sensitive data which iam sending through langflow API when running the flow, and I want to prevent the input and output values from being logged in the Langflow UI logs.

Current Behavior:
When my component runs, all input values and output data are automatically captured and displayed in the Langflow UI's logging/tracing panel.

Desired Behavior:
I want to disable automatic logging of input/output values while still being able to use self.log() for custom logging messages.

What I've Tried:
I've overridden get_trace_as_inputs() and get_trace_as_metadata() to return empty dictionaries:

def get_trace_as_inputs(self):
    """Override to disable input tracing"""
    return {}

def get_trace_as_metadata(self):
    """Override to disable metadata tracing"""
    return {}

Questions:

1. Is this the correct approach to disable input/output logging?
2. Is there a component-level configuration option to disable logging of inputs outputs entirely?

Use Case:
My component (CUSTOMCOMPONENT) accepts sensitive data as strings via API, and I need to ensure this data doesn't get logged for security/compliance reasons.

Langflow Version: 1.6.5

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
