api PostgreSQL Database Plugin - HTTP API docs-http-secret-databases-postgresql The PostgreSQL plugin for Vault's Database backend generates database credentials to access PostgreSQL servers.

PostgreSQL Database Plugin HTTP API

The PostgreSQL Database Plugin is one of the supported plugins for the Database backend. This plugin generates database credentials dynamically based on configured roles for the PostgreSQL database.

Configure Connection

In addition to the parameters defined by the Database Backend, this plugin has a number of parameters to further configure a connection.

Method Path Produces
POST /database/config/:name 204 (empty body)

Parameters

  • connection_url (string: <required>) - Specifies the PostgreSQL DSN.

  • max_open_connections (int: 2) - Specifies the maximum number of open connections to the database.

  • max_idle_connections (int: 0) - Specifies the maximum number of idle connections to the database. A zero uses the value of max_open_connections and a negative value disables idle connections. If larger than max_open_connections it will be reduced to be equal.

  • max_connection_lifetime (string: "0s") - Specifies the maximum amount of time a connection may be reused. If <= 0s connections are reused forever.
