The Difference Between Postgres Logging and PGAudit

Postgres has strong internal logging features for monitoring and troubleshooting, but it doesn't meet compliance auditing needs. PGAudit offers specialized logging for compliance, including session and object auditing, which provides detailed control over logged information. It helps meet standards like HIPAA by ensuring sensitive data is properly tracked and redacted in logs. Using both Postgres logging and PGAudit ensures operational insights and compliance readiness.
