Hello, I had installed PostgreSQL 11.9 and pgaudit 1.3.2. updated shared_preload_libraries, restarted PostgreSQL, created an extension for pgaudit and set parameters for pgaudit in postgresql.conf. But surprisingly pgaudit.log is not getting picked up and neither able to set it manually.
postgres>pwd /usr/pgsql-11/lib postgres>ls -ltr *pgaudit* -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 33088 Oct 6 10:48 pgaudit.so postgres> postgres>pwd /usr/pgsql-11/share/extension postgres>ls -ltr *pgaudit* -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 145 Oct 6 10:48 pgaudit.control -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 615 Oct 6 10:48 pgaudit--1.3.2.sql -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 175 Oct 6 10:48 pgaudit--1.3--1.3.1.sql -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 177 Oct 6 10:48 pgaudit--1.3.1--1.3.2.sql postgres> postgres=# create extension pgaudit; CREATE EXTENSION postgres=# select * from pg_Extension; extname | extowner | extnamespace | extrelocatable | extversion | extconfig | extcondition ---------+----------+--------------+----------------+------------+-----------+-------------- plpgsql | 10 | 11 | f | 1.0 | | pgaudit | 10 | 2200 | t | 1.3.2 | | (2 rows) postgres=# select name, setting, source from pg_settings where name like '%audit%'; name | setting | source ----------------------------+---------+-------------------- pgaudit.log | none | default pgaudit.log_catalog | on | configuration file pgaudit.log_client | on | configuration file pgaudit.log_level | log | default pgaudit.log_parameter | on | configuration file pgaudit.log_relation | off | default pgaudit.log_statement_once | off | default pgaudit.role | | default (8 rows) But I have below parameters in postgresql.conf.. not sure why its not picking up pgaudit.log value. log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log' log_line_prefix = '%m %u %d [%p]: ' shared_preload_libraries = 'pgaudit' # (change requires restart) pgaudit.log = 'write, role, ddl, misc_set' pgaudit.log_catalog = on pgaudit.log_client = on pgaudit.log_parameter = on Thanks, Dhiraam.
