## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? - docs update Closes DOCS-1080. ## What is the current behavior? - Linear item: [DOCS-1080](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1080/update-hipaa-and-security-docs-to-reflect-the-log-connectionsoff) (parent: PSQL-1307) - Docs do not mention that Postgres `log_connections` defaults to off for new projects, or how customers re-enable it for HIPAA/SOC 2 audit needs. - No customer-facing how-to for the Management API `log_connections` setting. ## What is the new behavior? - New guide: "Postgres connection logging" — default behavior, dashboard instructions, Management API curl examples, compliance notes. - HIPAA shared-responsibility, HIPAA projects, SOC 2, HIPAA compliance FAQ, logs guide, custom-postgres-config, and product-security updated with cross-links. - Platform nav entry added under **Platform → Postgres Connection Logging**. ### Proof: new guide and cross-links render **Verified:** `pnpm lint:mdx` (pass) · local dev (all changed pages 200) · Vercel preview (new page 200) | Check | Result | |-------|--------| | `pnpm lint:mdx` | pass (exit 0) | | Preview new guide | [200](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/platform/postgres-connection-logging) | | Preview HIPAA bullet | [shared-responsibility-model#managing-healthcare-data](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/deployment/shared-responsibility-model#managing-healthcare-data) | **Quick review links:** - [Postgres connection logging — New guide for the `log_connections=off` default and re-enabling via dashboard and Management API](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/platform/postgres-connection-logging) - [Shared Responsibility Model — Managing healthcare data — Added customer responsibility to keep connection logging enabled](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/deployment/shared-responsibility-model#managing-healthcare-data) - [HIPAA Projects — Added connection logging to required project configuration](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/platform/hipaa-projects) ## Additional context - **Before ready for review:** add dashboard screenshots once FE-3666 merges; add changelog cross-link when PSQL-1307 entry is published. - CLI does not expose `log_connections`; how-to documents Management API only until dashboard screenshots are added. ### Test plan - [ ] Open [preview guide](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/platform/postgres-connection-logging) — default behavior, API examples, compliance sections present - [ ] Confirm [HIPAA shared-responsibility bullet](https://docs-git-nikrichers-docs-1080-update-hipaa-and-e3b13d-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/deployment/shared-responsibility-model#managing-healthcare-data) links to the new guide - [ ] Confirm Platform nav includes **Postgres Connection Logging** - [ ] Spot-check Management API paths against `/docs/reference/api/v1-update-postgres-config` - [ ] After FE-3666: add Database Settings screenshots to the guide and PR proof section <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Added a full guide for enabling/disabling Postgres connection logging (dashboard + Management API), including verification steps and examples. * Clarified which Postgres parameters are Management API–only (CLI limitations), with `log_connections` as an example. * Updated HIPAA, SOC 2, and shared responsibility guidance to recommend keeping Postgres connection logging enabled, plus added related FAQ/resources. * Expanded telemetry logs documentation with “Logging Postgres connections” and Logs Explorer visibility notes. * **UI / Navigation** * Added the new “Postgres Connection Logging” entry to the Platform configuration navigation. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Nik Richers <nik@validmind.ai> Co-authored-by: Chris Chinchilla <chris.ward@supabase.io> Co-authored-by: Chris Chinchilla <chris@chrischinchilla.com>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
