Postgres - Logging queries

We had an issue with some JQL queries returning weird results from the db, so we wanted to see exactly what’s arriving to the psql service. To see that:

1. Edit the config file: /var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf

2. Unmark and change the following: ```properties #logging_collector = off # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog # into log files. Required to be on for # csvlogs. # (change requires restart)

These are only used if logging_collector is on:

#log_directory = ‘pg_log’ # directory where log files are written, # can be absolute or relative to PGDATA #log_filename = ‘postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log’ # log file name pattern, # can include strftime() escapes […] log_statement = ‘none’ # none, ddl, mod, all

* The `logging_collector` should be set to `on` to enable logging
* The  `log_statement` should be set to `all` to enable query logging
* The `log_directory` and `log_filename` can stay the same, depends on what you want.

So your line should look like:
```properties
#logging_collector = on                # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog
                                        # into log files. Required to be on for
                                        # csvlogs.
                                        # (change requires restart)

# These are only used if logging_collector is on:
#log_directory = 'pg_log'               # directory where log files are written,
                                        # can be absolute or relative to PGDATA
#log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'        # log file name pattern,
                                        # can include strftime() escapes
[...]
log_statement = 'all'                   # none, ddl, mod, all

Now restart your service, and you’re good to go : the logs will be at /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_log

Don’t run this on production, as it will seriously fuck up your performance!
