Hi @ginkgoch. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a pingcap member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ginkgoch, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces comprehensive documentation for the new user-controlled log redaction feature in TiDB Cloud. The aim is to provide users with clear instructions and important considerations for managing sensitive data visibility within their cluster logs, balancing operational needs with security.

Highlights

  • New Documentation Page: I've added a brand new documentation page, tidb-cloud/tidb-cloud-log-redaction.md, to introduce and explain the 'User-Controlled Log Redaction' feature for TiDB Cloud dedicated clusters.
  • Feature Explanation: The new document clarifies what user-controlled log redaction is, its purpose in managing sensitive data visibility in logs, and notes that it is enabled by default for security.
  • Operational Procedures: I've included step-by-step instructions on how to disable and re-enable log redaction through the TiDB Cloud Console, along with prerequisites and important warnings about data exposure when the feature is disabled.
  • Confirmation Steps: The documentation also provides guidance on how to confirm that log redaction has been successfully disabled, specifically by generating and reviewing slow query logs.

This pull request introduces a new documentation page for the 'User-controlled Log Redaction' feature in TiDB Cloud Dedicated clusters. The document clearly outlines the purpose of the feature, prerequisites, and provides step-by-step guides for disabling, confirming, and re-enabling log redaction.

Why is this section needed? Clicking "Disable" has already disabled the feature. Perhaps, the purpose of this section is just to guide users on how to quickly check the updated logs after disabling the feature? If so, please update the section title accordingly.
