Ensure 'SIGHUP' Runtime Parameters are Configured
LowLevel 1Manual reviewpostgres
Description
PostgreSQL runtime parameters that are executed by the SIGHUP signal.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Run SELECT name, setting FROM pg_settings WHERE context = 'sighup' ORDER BY 1; and compare with your approved baseline and the configuration files. Any unexpected value is a fail.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Restore approved values in postgresql.conf/postgresql.auto.conf and run SELECT pg_reload_conf(); (or send SIGHUP to the postmaster).
