This reduces log volume and noise, and aligns with industry-standard defaults (RDS, GCP Cloud SQL also default to off). We will be exposing this configuration to all users via dashboard and API for better log management, with `log_connnections` and `log_disconnections` now available via the [Update postgres config API route]() and will take effect from 9 July onwards. ### Who's affected * **New projects** (all tiers) created after 9 July will have `log_connections=off` by default. * **Existing Teams + Enterprise customers (including HIPAA add-on customers)** - Configuration is unchanged * **Existing Free / Pro customers** - `log_connections` will be turned off from 9 July. This configuration can be re-enabled below ### How to re-enable You can re-enable `log_connections` via the dashboard under Database > Settings. It can also be re-enabled programmatically via the Management API via the [Update postgres config API route](). Changes will only take effect from 9 July onwards.
