Using Console

Using CLI

To enable the “LOG_CONNECTIONS” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using Azure CLI, follow these steps:

Open the Azure CLI in your terminal or command prompt.
Log in to your Azure account using the command:
```
az login
```
Once logged in, select the Azure subscription where your PostgreSQL server is located using the command:
```
az account set --subscription <subscription-id>
```
Next, retrieve the resource ID of your PostgreSQL server using the command:
```
az postgres server show --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <server-name> --query id --output tsv
```
Replace <resource-group-name> with the name of the resource group where your PostgreSQL server is located, and <server-name> with the name of your PostgreSQL server.
Once you have the resource ID, use the following command to enable the “LOG_CONNECTIONS” parameter:
```
az postgres server configuration set --resource-group <resource-group-name> --server-name <server-name> --name log_connections --value on
```
Replace <resource-group-name> with the name of the resource group where your PostgreSQL server is located, and <server-name> with the name of your PostgreSQL server.
After executing the command, the “LOG_CONNECTIONS” parameter will be enabled for your PostgreSQL server. You can verify this by checking the server configuration using the command:
```
az postgres server configuration show --resource-group <resource-group-name> --server-name <server-name> --name log_connections
```
Replace <resource-group-name> with the name of the resource group where your PostgreSQL server is located, and <server-name> with the name of your PostgreSQL server.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Enable ‘LOG_CONNECTIONS’ Parameter for PostgreSQL Servers” in Azure using Python, you can follow these steps:

First, you need to authenticate and create a PostgreSQL server object using the Azure Python SDK. You can use the following code snippet to achieve this:

from azure.common.credentials import ServicePrincipalCredentials
from azure.mgmt.rdbms.postgresql import PostgreSQLManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.rdbms.postgresql.models import ServerUpdateParameters

# Replace the values in <> with your Azure credentials and PostgreSQL server details
credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id='<client_id>',
    secret='<client_secret>',
    tenant='<tenant_id>'
)

client = PostgreSQLManagementClient(
    credentials,
    '<subscription_id>'
)

server_name = '<server_name>'
resource_group_name = '<resource_group_name>'

server = client.servers.get(resource_group_name, server_name)

Once you have the server object, you can update the server parameters to enable the “log_connections” parameter. You can use the following code snippet to achieve this:

# Update the server parameters to enable log_connections
parameters = ServerUpdateParameters(
    parameters={
        'log_connections': 'on'
    }
)

client.servers.update(
    resource_group_name,
    server_name,
    parameters
)

Finally, you can verify that the parameter has been updated by checking the server parameters. You can use the following code snippet to achieve this:

# Get the server parameters and check if log_connections is enabled
server_parameters = client.servers.list_by_resource_group(resource_group_name)

for parameter in server_parameters:
    if parameter.name == server_name:
        print(parameter.parameters.log_connections)

This code will print “on” if the “log_connections” parameter has been successfully enabled.
