+WARNING: Settings in the logging library are global, meaning you could expose secrets in your logs. For example, the following will log the request and response in full meaning the secret string will be written to the cloudwatch log:
+```
+import logging
+
+logger = logging.getLogger()
+logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+
+secretsmanager = boto3.client('secretsmanager')
+secretsmanager.get_secret_value(
+  SecretId=secret_name
