Description

The PostgreSQL database instance flag 'log_min_duration_statement' defines the minimum amount of execution time of a SQL statement in milliseconds where the total duration of the statement is logged. Disabling it means there will be no logging of SQL statements because some may include sensitive information that should be not be recorded in logs.

How to fix?

Set the settings.database_flags.name attribute to "log_min_duration_statement" and settings.database_flags.value attribute to -1.

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_min_duration_statement"
      value = -1
    }
  }
}
