AWS amazonq documentation change

Service: amazonq · 2025-06-13 · Documentation low

File: amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/command-line-settings.md

Summary

Removed sections about inline suggestions, autocomplete commands, and log file details. Consolidated CLI command references into a link. Removed logging configuration and security warnings about sensitive data in logs.

Security assessment

The removal of the log file section eliminates documentation about log storage locations and security warnings regarding sensitive data in logs. While this reduces visibility into potential security considerations, the change itself does not address a specific security vulnerability in the product.

-## Log files
-
-Amazon Q Developer CLI maintains log files that can be useful for troubleshooting. These logs are stored locally on your machine and are not sent to AWS.
-
-Log files are located at:
-
-  * **macOS** : `$TMPDIR/qlog/`
-
-  * **Linux** : `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` or `TMPDIR` or `/tmp`
-
-
-
-
-The log level can be controlled by setting the `Q_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. Valid values are:
-
-  * `error`: Only error messages (default)
-
-  * `warn`: Warning and error messages
-
-  * `info`: Informational, warning, and error messages
-
-  * `debug`: Debug, informational, warning, and error messages
-
-  * `trace`: All messages including detailed trace information
-
-
-
-
-###### Warning
-
-Log files may contain sensitive information from your conversations and interactions with Amazon Q, including file paths, code snippets, and command outputs. While these logs are stored only on your local machine and are not sent to AWS, you should be cautious when sharing log files with others.
-
-Example of setting the log level (for debugging purposes):
-    
-    
-    # For bash/zsh
-    export Q_LOG_LEVEL=debug
-    q chat
-    
-    # For fish
-    set -x Q_LOG_LEVEL debug
-    q chat
