Avoid printing potentially sensitive error details to stdout and the label 'Sanitized error' is misleading given the raw message is logged. Use the application's logger and redact sensitive values (e.g., tokens, passwords) before logging: replace with something like logger.error('Connection test failed: %s', redact(message)).

On failure, the API should return a non-2xx status code to accurately reflect the error state (e.g., 400 or 502). Suggest returning a tuple with status: return jsonify({'success': False, 'message': user_message}), 400.
