# postgres_conf
|
|
|
|
Use the `postgres_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the contents of the configuration file for PostgreSQL, typically located at `/etc/postgresql/<version>/main/postgresql.conf` or `/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf`, depending on the platform.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `postgres_conf` resource block declares one (or more) settings in the `postgresql.conf` file, and then compares the setting in the configuration file to the value stated in the test:
|
|
|
|
describe postgres_conf('path') do
|
|
its('setting') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `'setting'` specifies a setting in the `postgresql.conf` file
|
|
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the `postgresql.conf` file (optional)
|
|
* `should eq 'value'` is the value that is expected
|
|

## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test the maximum number of allowed client connections
|
|
|
|
describe postgres_conf do
|
|
its('max_connections') { should eq '5' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test system logging
|
|
|
|
describe postgres_conf do
|
|
its('logging_collector') { should eq 'on' }
|
|
its('log_connections') { should eq 'on' }
|
|
its('log_disconnections') { should eq 'on' }
|
|
its('log_duration') { should eq 'on' }
|
|
its('log_hostname') { should eq 'on' }
|
|
its('log_line_prefix') { should eq '%t %u %d %h' }
|
|
its(['pgaudit.log_parameter']) { should cmp 'on' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test the port on which PostgreSQL listens
|
|
|
|
describe postgres_conf do
|
|
its('port') { should eq '5432' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test the Unix socket settings
|
|
|
|
describe postgres_conf do
|
|
its('unix_socket_directories') { should eq '.s.PGSQL.5432' }
|
|
its('unix_socket_group') { should eq nil }
|
|
its('unix_socket_permissions') { should eq '0770' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where `unix_socket_group` is set to the PostgreSQL default setting (the group to which the server user belongs).

## Matchers
|
|
|
|
For a full list of available matchers please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
|
|
|
|
### setting
|
|
|
|
The `setting` matcher tests specific, named settings in the `postgresql.conf` file:
|
|
|
|
its('setting') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
|
|
Use a `setting` matcher for each setting to be tested.
