+    A new kwarg, ``log_req_body``, was added to the
+    ``tempest.lib.common.rest_client.RestClient`` method ``raw_request()``.
+    This kwarg takes in a string which will be used in place of the request
+    body, which is logged by default. The intent of this option is to be used
+    for security reasons to avoid logging sensitive information that are part
+    of request bodies.
