Discussion

In this context, direct access is any query, command, or call to the DBMS that comes from any source other than the application(s) that it supports. Examples would be the command line or a database management utility program. The intent is to capture all activity from administrative and non-standard sources.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep '^\s*log_statement\b' /storage/db/pgdata/postgresql.conf

If "log_statement" is not "all", this is a finding.

Fix Text

At the command prompt, execute the following commands:

# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET log_statement TO 'all';"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -c "SELECT pg_reload_conf();"
