PostgreSQL
Integration

Three collection methods for every PostgreSQL scenario: pgAudit integration for managed clouds, WAL-embedded pg_secure_gather for maximum security, and cloud API connectors for fully managed services. Supports PostgreSQL 14+, CYBERTEC PGEE, and EDB EPAS.

Integration Overview

Scalefield Secure offers three methods for PostgreSQL audit data collection. pgAudit integration works with any PostgreSQL 14+ installation including managed cloud services like Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL. pg_secure_gather provides WAL-embedded, tamper-proof collection for self-managed PostgreSQL and CYBERTEC PGEE, with sub-millisecond latency and zero admin access to audit data. Cloud API connectors fetch audit data directly from cloud provider APIs for fully managed instances where no kernel access is available. All three methods feed into the same Parquet-archived compliance pipeline.
