1. Open the GCP Console and navigate to the Cloud SQL instances page.
2. Click on the name of the instance that has the PostgreSQL Log Parser Stats Flag Should Be Off misconfiguration.
3. In the left-hand menu, click on the Configuration tab.
4. Scroll down to the Flags section and click on Edit.
5. In the Flags editor, search for the log_parser_stats flag.
6. If the log_parser_stats flag is set to ON, toggle it to OFF.
7. Click Save to apply the changes.

​

1. Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.
2. Run the following command to list all the Cloud SQL instances in your project:
   gcloud sql instances list
   
3. Identify the instance that has the PostgreSQL Log Parser Stats Flag Should Be Off misconfiguration.
4. Run the following command to update the instance settings:
   gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --database-flags log_parser_stats=off
   
   Replace [INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of the instance that you identified in step 3.
5. Verify that the log_parser_stats flag is set to off by running the following command:
   gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]
   
   Replace [INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of the instance that you identified in step 3. Look for the following line in the output:
   databaseFlags:
     log_parser_stats: off
   
   If you see this line, the misconfiguration has been remediated successfully.

1. Install the google-cloud-secret-manager and google-cloud-logging python packages using pip.
   pip install google-cloud-secret-manager google-cloud-logging
   
2. Import the necessary libraries.
   from google.cloud import secretmanager_v1beta1
   from google.cloud import logging_v2
   
3. Retrieve the value of the POSTGRES_STATS_FLAG secret from Google Secret Manager.
   client = secretmanager_v1beta1.SecretManagerServiceClient()
   name = client.secret_version_path('<PROJECT_ID>', '<SECRET_NAME>', '<SECRET_VERSION>')
   response = client.access_secret_version(name)
   postgres_stats_flag = response.payload.data.decode('UTF-8')
   
   Replace <PROJECT_ID>, <SECRET_NAME>, and <SECRET_VERSION> with the appropriate values.
4. Update the log sink for PostgreSQL to disable the log parser stats flag.
   client = logging_v2.LoggingServiceV2Client()
   parent = client.project_path('<PROJECT_ID>')
   resource = {
       "type": "gce_instance",
       "labels": {
           "instance_id": "<INSTANCE_ID>",
           "zone": "<ZONE>"
       }
   }
   filter = 'resource.type="gce_instance" AND resource.labels.instance_id="<INSTANCE_ID>" AND logName="projects/<PROJECT_ID>/logs/postgresql.log"'
   sinks = client.list_sinks(parent)
   for sink in sinks:
       if sink.filter == filter:
           sink.destination.update_gcs_bucket = None
           sink.destination.disable_log_entry_types = ["LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED", "PROTO_PAYLOAD"]
           sink.destination.enable_log_entry_types = []
           sink.filter = 'resource.type="gce_instance" AND resource.labels.instance_id="<INSTANCE_ID>" AND logName="projects/<PROJECT_ID>/logs/postgresql.log" AND NOT jsonPayload.message:("LOG: statement stats:")'
           client.update_sink(sink)
           break
   
   Replace <PROJECT_ID>, <INSTANCE_ID>, and <ZONE> with the appropriate values.
5. Verify that the log sink has been updated successfully.
   gcloud logging sinks describe <SINK_NAME> --project=<PROJECT_ID>
   
   Replace <SINK_NAME> and <PROJECT_ID> with the appropriate values.
