Description:
Ensure that the 'log_checkpoints' database flag for the Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instance is set to 'on'.
Rationale:
Enabling 'log_checkpoints' causes checkpoints and restart points to be logged in the server log. Some statistics are included in the log messages, including the number of buffers written and the time spent writing them. This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line. This recommendation is applicable to PostgreSQL database instances.
From Console:
From Command Line:
gcloud sql instances list
gcloud sql instances patch INSTANCE_NAME --database-flags log_checkpoints=on
Note:
This command will overwrite all previously set database flags. To keep those and add new ones, include the values for all flags to be set on the instance. Any flag not specifically included is set to its default value. For flags that do not take a value, specify the flag name followed by an equals sign ("=").
