Re: Values Logged in Logfile of postgres logs

If you want to have some kind of auditing mechanism, you need to use pgaudit.

Logging all statements to pglog is not a good idea. Even setting log_min_duration_statement = 0 is not a fesible too. You need to set this whenever you want to trace anything, later disable or set to reasonable value.

Hi Friends,

My postgres log has an insert statement with values too .

Is this safe of logging the values in the log file.
Is there a way to mask the values whenever DML operations happen.

--------------------inserting record -------------------
postgres=# insert into test (id) values(4);
INSERT 0 1

postgres=# show log_min_duration_statement;
log_min_duration_statement
----------------------------
0 -- to capture all statements happening
(1 row)

2024-04-22 21:54:13.989 CEST [11805] postgres(at)postgres LOG: duration: 10.455 ms statement: insert into test (id) values(4);
2024-04-22 21:54:23.197 CEST [11805] postgres(at)postgres ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "log_min_duration"

------------ the above log has values of what data got inserted as well.

regards
Tejas
