  name: Log Min Messages Flag Not Configured Properly for PostgreSQL Instances
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that the "log_min_messages" database flag configured for your Google Cloud PostgreSQL database instances has the appropriate severity level in accordance with your organization's logging policy. The "log_min_messages" flag defines the minimum severity level for messages to be logged. Valid levels include DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, and PANIC.
  impact: |
    An improperly configured "log_min_messages" flag can result in insufficient logging, making it difficult to troubleshoot or audit issues, or excessive logging, which can impact performance and increase storage costs.
  remediation: |
    Set the "log_min_messages" flag to the appropriate severity level (e.g., ERROR) as per your organization's logging policy to balance logging effectiveness and performance.
