Usage

pgauditlogtofile: Redirect pgAudit logs to an independent file

pgauditlogtofile is an addon to pgAudit that redirects audit log lines to a separate file instead of the PostgreSQL server log, with automatic rotation support.

CREATE EXTENSION pgauditlogtofile;

Configuration Parameters

Parameter Default Description
pgaudit.log_format csv Output format: csv or json
pgaudit.log_directory log Directory for audit files (empty disables)
pgaudit.log_filename audit-%Y%m%d_%H%M.log Filename pattern (supports time patterns)
pgaudit.log_file_mode 0600 File permissions for audit logs
pgaudit.log_rotation_age 1440 Rotation interval in minutes (1 day)
pgaudit.log_connections off Log connection events (requires log_connections = on)
pgaudit.log_disconnections off Log disconnection events (requires log_disconnections = on)
pgaudit.log_autoclose_minutes 0 Auto-close file handler after N minutes of inactivity
pgaudit.log_execution_time off Measure statement execution time
pgaudit.log_execution_memory off Measure memory footprint of statements

Setup

Add to postgresql.conf:

shared_preload_libraries = 'pgaudit, pgauditlogtofile'
pgaudit.log_directory = 'log'
pgaudit.log_filename = 'audit-%Y%m%d_%H%M.log'
pgaudit.log_rotation_age = 1440

Audit entries are written to the separate file while server logs remain clean.
