Ensure server parameter 'connection_throttle.enable' is set to 'ON' for PostgreSQL flexible server
Why This Matters
Connection throttling prevents denial of service (DoS) attacks by limiting how the PostgreSQL database handles concurrent connections. Without this setting enabled, excessive connection attempts can exhaust system resources, leading to degraded performance or complete service failure. Enabling connection throttling also improves logging visibility, allowing administrators to identify and troubleshoot connection-based anomalies.
What Aether365 Checks
Aether365 verifies that the server parameter connection_throttle.enable is set to ON for your PostgreSQL flexible servers. This check appears in the Aether365 dashboard under the Azure PostgreSQL configuration checks section.
