id: gcloud-pg-log-executor-stats-enabled info: name: Log Executor Stats Enabled in PostgreSQL Database Instances author: princechaddha severity: medium description: | Ensure that the log_executor_stats database flag is turned off for your Google Cloud PostgreSQL database instances in order to avoid performance issues caused by excessive logging. The log_executor_stats flag enables a crude profiling method for logging PostgreSQL executor performance statistics. The PostgreSQL executor is responsible for executing the plan handed over by the PostgreSQL planner/optimizer. The task of the PostgreSQL planner/optimizer is to create an optimal execution plan. impact: | Enabling the log_executor_stats flag may lead to significant performance degradation due to excessive logging, impacting the database's overall efficiency. remediation: | Disable the log_executor_stats flag in your PostgreSQL database instance configuration to prevent performance issues caused by excessive logging. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/flags tags: cloud,devops,gcp,gcloud,google-cloud-sql,postgresql,gcp-cloud-config flow: | code(1) for(let projectId of iterate(template.projectIds)){ set("projectId", projectId) code(2) for(let sqlInstance of iterate(template.sqlInstances)){ set("sqlInstance", sqlInstance) code(3) } } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud projects list --format="json(projectId)" extractors: - type: json name: projectIds internal: true json: - '.[].projectId' - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud sql instances list --project $projectId --filter='DATABASE_VERSION:POSTGRES*' --format="json(name)" extractors: - type: json name: sqlInstances internal: true json: - '.[].name' - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud sql instances describe $sqlInstance --project $projectId --format=json | jq '.settings.databaseFlags // [] | map(select(.name == "log_executor_stats")) | .[].value' matchers: - type: word words: - 'on' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"The log_executor_stats flag is enabled for PostgreSQL instance " + sqlInstance + " in project " + projectId' # digest: 4b0a00483046022100becc6e11eec3e0e824c7b4c976175dc77190b74ed4c8e32304824e2aeb7622a0022100c3aefc5a60ad501d867f2e2521553ba89979805322ff8f820108ff2a9581c76c:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
