Обсуждение: Is there a way to log only a particular user connection attempts inPostgres?

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.

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
goodthing) so that login connections/disconnections will be not so frequent as to 
 
create noise in your log files.

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