Azure audit postgressql enable log duration remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in AZURE using AZURE CLI, you can follow the below steps:

Open the AZURE CLI and log in to your AZURE account.
Run the below command to get the list of all the PostgreSQL servers in your subscription:
```
az postgres server list
```
Select the PostgreSQL server for which you want to enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter and note down its resource group name and server name.
Run the below command to enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for the selected PostgreSQL server:
```
az postgres server configuration set --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server-name <server_name> --name log_duration --value on
```
Replace <resource_group_name> and <server_name> with the actual values of the resource group name and server name noted down in step 3.
Verify that the “LOG_DURATION” parameter is enabled for the PostgreSQL server by running the below command:
```
az postgres server configuration list --resource-group <resource_group_name> --server-name <server_name> --query "[?name=='log_duration']"
```
If the output shows the value of “value” parameter as “on”, then the “LOG_DURATION” parameter is enabled for the PostgreSQL server.

By following the above steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of enabling the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in AZURE using AZURE CLI.

Using Python

To enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for PostgreSQL servers in Azure using python, you can follow the below steps:

Import the necessary libraries:

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

Set the credentials for authentication:

TENANT_ID = '<your tenant id>'
CLIENT = '<your client id>'
KEY = '<your client secret>'
SUBSCRIPTION_ID = '<your subscription id>'

credentials = ServicePrincipalCredentials(
    client_id=CLIENT,
    secret=KEY,
    tenant=TENANT_ID
)

Create a PostgreSQL management client object:

client = PostgreSQLManagementClient(
    credentials=credentials,
    subscription_id=SUBSCRIPTION_ID
)

Get the PostgreSQL server you want to enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for:

RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME = '<your resource group name>'
SERVER_NAME = '<your server name>'

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

Update the server configuration to enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter:

CONFIGURATION_NAME = 'postgresql.conf'
CONFIGURATION_VALUE = 'log_duration = on'

parameters = {
    'name': CONFIGURATION_NAME,
    'value': CONFIGURATION_VALUE
}

client.configurations.create_or_update(
    resource_group_name=RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME,
    server_name=SERVER_NAME,
    configuration_name=CONFIGURATION_NAME,
    parameters=parameters
)

Verify that the configuration has been updated:

configuration = client.configurations.get(
    resource_group_name=RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME,
    server_name=SERVER_NAME,
    configuration_name=CONFIGURATION_NAME
)

print(configuration.value)

This should enable the “LOG_DURATION” parameter for the PostgreSQL server in Azure.
