Azure audit postgressql enable log checkpoints remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter misconfiguration for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using Azure CLI, you can follow these steps:

Open the Azure CLI on your local machine or through the Azure portal.
Run the following command to log in to your Azure account:

az login

Once you are logged in, run the following command to list all the available PostgreSQL servers in your Azure account:

az postgres server list

Choose the server that you want to remediate and run the following command to get the current configuration settings:

az postgres server configuration list --resource-group <resource-group-name> --server-name <server-name>

Make sure to replace <resource-group-name> and <server-name> with the actual names of your resource group and server.

Identify whether the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter is set to “off” or not in the output of the above command.
If the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter is set to “off”, run the following command to update the configuration and enable it:

az postgres server configuration set --resource-group <resource-group-name> --server-name <server-name> --name log_checkpoints --value on

Again, replace <resource-group-name> and <server-name> with the actual names of your resource group and server.

Verify the updated configuration by running the command in step 4 again.
Repeat steps 5-7 for any other PostgreSQL servers that have the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter misconfiguration.

By following these steps, you can remediate the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter misconfiguration for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using Python, you can follow the below steps:

First, you need to connect to the Azure PostgreSQL server using the psycopg2 library in Python. You can install it using the following command:
```
!pip install psycopg2-binary
```
Once you have installed the psycopg2 library, you can use the following code snippet to connect to the Azure PostgreSQL server:
```
import psycopg2

conn = psycopg2.connect(
    host="your_server_name.postgres.database.azure.com",
    database="your_database_name",
    user="your_username@your_server_name",
    password="your_password"
)
```
Replace the <your_server_name>, <your_database_name>, <your_username>, and <your_password> with your actual server details.
After connecting to the Azure PostgreSQL server, you can execute the following SQL query to enable the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter:
```
with conn.cursor() as cur:
    cur.execute("ALTER SYSTEM SET log_checkpoints = on;")
    conn.commit()
```
This query will enable the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter for the Azure PostgreSQL server.
Finally, you can close the connection to the Azure PostgreSQL server using the following code:
```
conn.close()
```
This will close the connection to the Azure PostgreSQL server.

By following the above steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of enabling the “LOG_CHECKPOINTS” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using Python.
