Hello there!
I've seen lots of people who have asked questions about how to log this or that, but I have the opposite question! :-) I'm seeing this in my logs:
Jul 25 18:08:11 staging-db11 postgres[27050]: [10-2] STATEMENT: create role pguser encrypted password 'XXX';
Where XXX is the actual password. This happens every 30 minutes when my chef client kicks off and resets the passwords. Here's everything that I have in postgres.conf related to logging:
log_destination = 'syslog'		# Valid values are combinations of
					# stderr, csvlog, syslog, and eventlog,
					# depending on platform.  csvlog
					# requires logging_collector to be on.
logging_collector = on			# Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog
					# into log files. Required to be on for
					# csvlogs.
log_directory = 'pg_log'		# directory where log files are written,
log_filename = 'postgresql-%a.log'	# log file name pattern,
log_truncate_on_rotation = on		# If on, an existing log file with the
					# same name as the new log file will be
log_rotation_age = 1d			# Automatic rotation of logfiles will
log_rotation_size = 0			# Automatic rotation of logfiles will
					# happen after that much log output.
					# DO NOT USE without syslog or
					# logging_collector
log_min_duration_statement = 2000	# 2 seconds
log_checkpoints = on
What I'd like to do is stop logging create role commands, as the logs end up full of passwords. Is there any way to do this? Thanks, and have fun!
