The "log_statement" flag controls which SQL statements are logged, with valid values being: none, ddl, mod, and all. impact: | An improperly configured "log_statement" flag can result in either excessive logging, which impacts performance, or insufficient logging, which hinders troubleshooting and auditing. remediation: | Set the "log_statement" flag to the appropriate value (e.g., mod) based on your organization's logging policy to balance performance and logging requirements. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/flags tags: cloud,devops,gcp,gcloud,google-cloud-sql,postgresql,logging,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 -r '.settings.databaseFlags[]? | select(.name=="log_statement") | .value // "null"' matchers: - type: word words: - 'null' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"The log_statement flag is not configured or is set to an inappropriate value for PostgreSQL instance " + sqlInstance + " in project " + projectId' # digest: 4b0a00483046022100c3f4b8b166f8a753a7b337572a22e14613bc854d94456f126d6900eb5c8faaaf022100da9e70bcb45595b51b02e43e7dcdb1559570321389f8820317a46d334a0b7d7a:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
