Property	Value

Service	database
Provider	Azure
Vulnerability Type	omission

Description

The PostgreSQL server is not configured to enable 'connection_throttling', which means logging for connection throttling events is disabled. This reduces visibility into potential connection contention or abuse scenarios.

Impact

Without connection throttling logs, diagnosing connection-related issues and detecting abnormal access patterns becomes difficult. This can hinder incident response, delay troubleshooting, and potentially allow attackers or misconfigured applications to exhaust database resources undetected.

Resolution

Enable connection throttling logging
