1. Login to the GCP console and navigate to the Cloud SQL instances page.
2. Select the instance for which you want to remediate the misconfiguration.
3. Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
4. Scroll down to the “Flags” section and click on the “Add item” button.
5. In the “Name” field, enter “log_error_verbosity” and in the “Value” field, enter “default” or “less verbose”.
6. Click on the “Save” button to save the changes.

​

1. Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.
2. Run the following command to list all the Cloud SQL instances in your project: gcloud sql instances list
3. Identify the instance for which you want to remediate the misconfiguration and note down its instance name and project ID.
4. Run the following command to update the log_error_verbosity flag to a stricter value (e.g. ‘TERSE’): gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --database-flags log_error_verbosity=TERSE --project [PROJECT_ID] Replace [INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of the instance you identified in step 3 and [PROJECT_ID] with your GCP project ID.
5. Wait for the command to complete. It may take a few minutes for the flag to be updated.
6. Verify that the flag has been updated by running the following command: gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME] --project [PROJECT_ID] This command will display the details of the instance, including the updated log_error_verbosity flag value.

1. Install the Google Cloud SDK and the necessary Python libraries to interact with GCP.
2. Create a Python script that will use the Google Cloud SQL Admin API to update the PostgreSQL instance.
3. Authenticate the script using a service account that has the necessary IAM roles to manage the PostgreSQL instance.
4. Use the projects.instances.patch method to update the instance with the correct log_error_verbosity flag value.
