Is there a way where I can edit chef cookbook to process rule to hash/mask passwords that get logged in sumo logic ?

  Assuming you are pushing the source json via chef, yes, we can add a section to the json to include the filters.

  Generally speaking, we do hashing or masking via processing rules:

  If not done via the UI, you can use the filter field in your source json.

  Specifically for masking it would look something like this:

  "filters":[{
  "filterType":"Mask",
  "name":"filter text",
  "regexp":"(REGEX TO MASK)",
  "mask":"VALUE TO MASK WITH"
  }],

  Masking or hashing passwords can be tricky from a regex, but if you have them as part of a key value pair, it is much easier.
