Description
An issue was discovered by Elastic whereby the Documents API of App Search logged the raw contents of indexed documents at INFO log level.

Elastic has released 8.11.2 and 7.17.16 that resolves this issue by changing the log level at which these are logged to DEBUG, which is disabled by default.
Affected configurations
