Hi Community,
Is there any way to log a user login/connection attempts in a log file ?
I know that we have log_connections parameter for this. But it logs all the
connection attempts for all users across the instance.
But here my requirement is to exclude login attempts for a particular
user(as in my case its application user and postgres user).
I have also seen "pg_audit" but it is not logging any login events.
Please shed some light on this scenario.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Pavan Teja,

A user that can't log in isn't much of a user.

In a misguided, auditor-mandated attempt at security?

You can't set that on a user level. At least not with pgsql 11. What you can do is use connection pooling (which is a good thing) so that login connections/disconnections will be not so frequent as to
create noise in your log files.

Have you considered changing your logging format to csv?
The noise will still be in there but it’ll be in a form where you can query it.

That qustion/answer is about exluding general log messages for some
user, not excluding connection (attempts)/disconnections for some user.
