1. Login to the Azure portal and navigate to the Azure Database for PostgreSQL service.
2. Select the PostgreSQL server for which you want to remediate the Log Retention Period misconfiguration.
3. In the left-hand menu, select “Configuration”.
4. Scroll down to the “Logging” section and locate the “retention_days” parameter.
5. Update the value of “retention_days” to the desired log retention period (in days).
6. Click the “Save” button to save the changes.
7. Verify the changes by checking the “Overview” page of the PostgreSQL server and ensuring that the new retention period is reflected.

​

1. Open the Azure CLI and log in to your Azure account.
2. Run the following command to set the retention period for logs in your PostgreSQL database:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az postgres server-logs retention update --days <number_of_days> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server-name <server_name>
   

   Replace <number_of_days> with the number of days for which you want to retain the logs, <resource_group_name> with the name of the resource group containing your PostgreSQL server, and <server_name> with the name of your PostgreSQL server. For example, to set the retention period to 30 days for a PostgreSQL server named “myserver” in a resource group named “myresourcegroup”, run the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   az postgres server-logs retention update --days 30 --resource-group myresourcegroup --server-name myserver
   

3. Once the command is executed successfully, the retention period for logs in your PostgreSQL database will be updated to the specified number of days.

1. Import the necessary libraries:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.rdbms import postgresql

2. Set the subscription ID, resource group name, server name, and database name:

subscription_id = 'your-subscription-id'
resource_group_name = 'your-resource-group-name'
server_name = 'your-server-name'
database_name = 'your-database-name'

3. Create a credential object to authenticate with Azure:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

4. Create a PostgreSQLManagementClient object:

client = postgresql.PostgreSQLManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

5. Get the current log retention period:

log_retention_days = client.configurations.list_by_server(resource_group_name, server_name, database_name, 'postgresqlconf').as_dict().get('log_retention_days')

6. If the log retention period is set to a value greater than 7 days, update the configuration:

if log_retention_days > 7:
    client.configurations.create_or_update(resource_group_name, server_name, database_name, 'postgresqlconf', {'log_retention_days': 7})
