id: gcloud-sql-log-checkpoints-disabled info: name: Log Checkpoints Disabled in PostgreSQL Database Instances author: princechaddha severity: medium description: | Ensure that the "log_checkpoints" database flag is enabled for your Google Cloud PostgreSQL database instances. The "log_checkpoints" flag allows checkpoints and restart points to be logged and included within the PostgreSQL server log. impact: | Without enabling "log_checkpoints", crucial log data related to checkpoints and restart points will not be captured, making it difficult to monitor and troubleshoot PostgreSQL database performance and issues. remediation: | Enable the "log_checkpoints" flag for PostgreSQL database instances to ensure logging of checkpoints and restart points for better observability. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/configure-instance-settings 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 --format=json | jq '.settings.databaseFlags // [] | map(select(.name == "log_checkpoints")) | .[0]?.value' matchers: - type: word words: - 'off' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"Log Checkpoints flag is disabled in PostgreSQL instance: " + sqlInstance + " in project: " + projectId' # digest: 4a0a004730450221008cf3769178c9c1f1a64439433e5084956ab37193ce4e548abbe7ec1926e96bc502202109edd86c07ad806b0231c89b7eb988692814620a613b4f4b01c5e69d0609a0:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
