Is it possible to change the logging-level of parameter tasks? For flows that have many parameters (and most with default values), it'd be nice to remove them from the info-level logs, where they can be overwhelming.

Hey <@U01NTEYAL2X>, I don’t see a way without setting the global setting. Also looking at the <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/core/parameter.py#L23|source> , there’s not explicit info level logging statement, which means that it’s inheriting all of those so I think this would be hard to change unfortunately.

Okay, bummer but that's fine haha. Thanks for checking though!

Also I just did a quick check myself -- the logger calls are actually in the <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/engine/task_runner.py|task_runner> class. So I'd have to open a pull request for this and just add a few if-statements

I honestly am not sure we’d accept PR’s into the `task_runner` specifically because it’s very core to Prefect. I do have an idea actually, you can explicitly create a filter for the Python logger to hide some logs. Have you seen this before?

```import prefect
from prefect import task, Flow
import logging

# Creating a filter
class SecureFilter(logging.Filter):
    def filter(self, rec):
        if 'tes' in rec.msg:
            return 0
        return 1

@task
def abc():
    logger = prefect.context.get("logger")
    logger.addFilter(SecureFilter())
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>("teting")        # gets shows
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>("testing")       # gets hidden
    return 1

@task
def bcd():
    logger = prefect.context.get("logger")
    logger.addFilter(SecureFilter())
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>("teting")        # gets shows
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>("testing")       # gets hidden
    return 1

with Flow("test") as flow:
    abc()
    bcd()

flow.run()```

Am I able to do these two lines outside of a task? Or the context only accessible inside a task?
```logger = prefect.context.get("logger")
logger.addFilter(SecureFilter())```


For you though it’s a bit trickier because you need it in the Flow block:
```with Flow("test") as flow:
    logger = prefect.context.get("logger")
    logger.addFilter(SecureFilter())
    abc()
    bcd()```
so that it affect Parameters, but then the Flow block is evaluated during build time so I think your logger will only be configured when you register. In order for it to apply to the flow run, you need to `store_as_script=True` in your storage.

I believe you should have context if stored as script. How are you storing this Flow?

I use `ModuleStorage`, which I believe behaves like `store_as_script=True`

That sounds right. Let me give this a test also.

Ok it didnt work for me. Let me ask the team if there’s another way to do this

Yeah, I'm struggling to get it working too. If there's no easy way, don't worry about it. It probably won't be worth the effort lol
