Description
The PostgreSQL database instance flag 'log_temp_files' controls logging temporary files and their size when deleted. Setting this flag to 0 causes all temporary files to be logged. If any temporary files are not logged, it may be more difficult to identify potential performance issues due to either poor application coding or deliberate resource starvation attempts.
How to fix?
Set the settings.database_flags.name attribute to "log_temp_files", and settings.database_flags.value attribute to 0.
Example Configuration
resource "google_sql_database_instance" "allowed" {
name = "master-instance"
database_version = "POSTGRES_11"
region = "us-central1"
settings {
tier = "db-f1-micro"
database_flags {
name = "log_temp_files"
value = 0
}
}
}
