Discussion

Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility for the potentially harmful event. Identifiers (if authenticated or otherwise known) include, but are not limited to, user database tables, primary key values, user names, or process identifiers.

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

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

If "log_line_prefix" is not set to "%m %d %u %r %p %l %c", this is a finding.
