Re: User specific log file in Postgres - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Here are a couple of ideas that are outside of the direct question.

I believe you can target one or more users with the pgaudit extension.  Look for Session Audit Logging. 

Example "ALTER ROLE role_name SET pgaudit.log = 'all, -misc';". https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit#session-audit-logging 

Some clients such as psql will also allow you to write history per host / user.  ~/.psqlrc file add "\set HISTFILE ~/.psql_history_ :HOST _ :USER _ :DBNAME" for example.

Both of these should be well documented and relatively easy to test to see if they might be of some assistance for you.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Dan Smith

Hi,

 

If you mean the “standard” logging system for PostgreSQL the reply is No. Parameter “log_filename” is of context “sighup” and can’t be modified by session…

Hello Team,

 

Is it possible to set up individual logging files for specific users in Postgresql?

 

Please suggest !

 

Thanks
