Trying to use Secret DetectionMissing litellm-enterprise pac

Error message

Trying to use Secret DetectionMissing litellm-enterprise package. Please install it to use this feature. Run `pip install litellm-enterprise`

What it means

Raised at proxy startup when callbacks includes 'hide_secrets' (secret detection/redaction) but importing litellm_enterprise.enterprise_callbacks.secret_detection._ENTERPRISE_SecretDetection raises ImportError. Like Llama Guard, secret hiding is an enterprise feature packaged in the separate litellm-enterprise distribution; the open-source litellm install cannot provide it. The message text runs together ('Trying to use Secret DetectionMissing litellm-enterprise package...') because two strings are concatenated without a separator.

Solutions

1. pip install litellm-enterprise in the environment that runs the proxy.
2. Rebuild the docker image so the new dependency is baked in.
3. Remove 'hide_secrets' from callbacks if the feature is not licensed/needed.
4. Confirm the import works: python -c "from litellm_enterprise.enterprise_callbacks.secret_detection import _ENTERPRISE_SecretDetection".

Example fix

# before
# requirements: litellm only, config has callbacks: ["hide_secrets"]

# after
# requirements add:
litellm-enterprise

import importlib.util

if 'hide_secrets' in callbacks and importlib.util.find_spec('litellm_enterprise') is None:
    callbacks.remove('hide_secrets')  # or fail loudly, per your policy
    logger.warning('hide_secrets disabled: litellm-enterprise not installed')

try:
    from litellm_enterprise.enterprise_callbacks.secret_detection import _ENTERPRISE_SecretDetection  # noqa
    HIDE_SECRETS_OK = True
except ImportError:
    HIDE_SECRETS_OK = False

callbacks = ['hide_secrets'] if HIDE_SECRETS_OK else []

When it happens

Trigger: Enabling callbacks: ['hide_secrets'] in litellm_settings on an environment where pip show litellm-enterprise fails; CI images built from the plain litellm wheel; deploys where the enterprise package was dropped from requirements.

Common situations: Adopting the secret-masking guardrail after reading enterprise docs; environment drift between prod (enterprise installed) and staging (not); docker images not rebuilt after adding the callback.
