cloudsql/WARN/2023_001
Cloud SQL instance’s log_output flag is not configured as TABLE
Product: CloudSQL
Rule class: WARN - Something that is possibly wrong
Description
If you set log_output to TABLE, the log output is placed in a table in the mysql system database. It might consume a considerable amount of disk space. If this table becomes large, it can affect instance restart time or cause the instance to lose its SLA coverage. For this reason, the TABLE option is not recommended.
Remediation
Change the log_output
flag to FILE
or NONE
. Note that to minimize instance
storage cost, logs on the instance disk are rotated when the log file is older
than 24 hours (and no changes have been made within that duration) or greater
than 100MB in size. Old log files are automatically deleted after the rotation.
