Reveal <private> Logs on macOS Sonoma

While I am still convinced the unified logging system is great, the masking of value interpolations gets into my way often enough, too. The way to unmask those values has changed drastically from macOS release to macOS release.

During research I found this blog post by the eclectic light company which provides some interesting background information. Itself reffered to this blog post by George Garside which gathered information about the desired revelations, too.

That page also offers the download of a signed configuration profile which, after being installed, reveals all masked interpolations in the macOS Console.

There also is a blog post by JAMF on how to create and sign a configuration profile to reveal masked interpolations. To me it looks like the best way because the configuration profile targets individual subsystems by their bundle identifiers. That way the revelations are targeted and not global. Sadly, I was too incompetent to get the signing done right in a quick attempt.
