Control: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 05 - Database Services > 05.02 - Azure Database for PostgreSQL > 05.02.06 - [LEGACY] Ensure server parameter 'log_connections' is set to 'ON' for PostgreSQL single server

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Enable log_connections on PostgreSQL single servers.

NOTE: This recommendation currently only applies to Single Server, not Flexible Server. See additional information below for details about the planned retirement of Azure PostgreSQL Single Server.

Enabling log_connections helps PostgreSQL Database to log attempted connection to the server, as well as successful completion of client authentication. Log data can be used to identify, troubleshoot, and repair configuration errors and suboptimal performance.
