Table: azure_postgresql_flexible_server - Query Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Servers using SQL

Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server is a fully managed relational database service, based on the open-source Postgres database engine. It provides capabilities for intelligent performance, high availability, and dynamic scalability, enabling you to focus on application development and business logic rather than database management tasks. This service helps you to securely manage, monitor, and scale your PostgreSQL databases in the cloud.

Table Usage Guide

The azure_postgresql_flexible_server table provides insights into the configuration and status of Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server instances. As a database administrator, you can leverage this table to explore server-specific details, including the server's state, version, location, and more. Utilize it to monitor and manage your PostgreSQL databases in Azure, ensuring optimal performance, security, and compliance.

Examples

Basic info

Uncover the details of your Azure PostgreSQL flexible servers including their names, IDs, and configurations. This information is essential for managing your cloud environment effectively and understanding where your servers are located.

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server;

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server;

List SKU details of the flexible servers

Identify the specific details of flexible servers, such as their unique identifiers and SKU details. This information can be beneficial in managing resources and understanding the tier level of each server.

select
  name,
  id,
  sku ->> 'name' as sku_name,
  sku ->> 'tier' as sku_tier
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server;

select
  name,
  id,
  json_extract(sku, '$.name') as sku_name,
  json_extract(sku, '$.tier') as sku_tier
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server;

List flexible servers that have geo-redundant backup enabled

Identify instances where flexible servers have geo-redundant backup enabled to ensure data redundancy and disaster recovery for your Azure PostgreSQL databases.

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  server_properties -> 'backup' ->> 'geoRedundantBackup',
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server
where
  server_properties -> 'backup' ->> 'geoRedundantBackup' = 'Enabled';

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  json_extract(
    json_extract(server_properties, '$.backup'),
    '$.geoRedundantBackup'
  ) as geoRedundantBackup,
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server
where
  json_extract(
    json_extract(server_properties, '$.backup'),
    '$.geoRedundantBackup'
  ) = 'Enabled';

List flexible servers configured in more than one availability zones

Determine the areas in which flexible servers are configured across multiple availability zones. This is useful for understanding the distribution and redundancy of your servers, which can impact service availability and disaster recovery strategies.

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  server_properties ->> 'availabilityZone',
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server
where
  (server_properties ->> 'availabilityZone') :: int > 1;

select
  name,
  id,
  cloud_environment,
  flexible_server_configurations,
  json_extract(server_properties, '$.availabilityZone'),
  location
from
  azure_postgresql_flexible_server
where
  CAST(
    json_extract(server_properties, '$.availabilityZone') AS INTEGER
  ) > 1;

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- azure

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_azure --config '<your_config>' azure_postgresql_flexible_server
