These parameters control what runtime data PostgreSQL collects about query execution, table activity, and performance, feeding into the <code>pg_stat_*</code> monitoring views.</p> <h2 id="purpose-and-overview">Purpose and Overview</h2> <p>PostgreSQL's statistics collector gathers data about database activity and makes it available through system views like <code>pg_stat_activity</code>, <code>pg_stat_user_tables</code>, and <code>pg_stat_statements</code>. If the underlying collection settings are disabled, those views return incomplete or empty data.</p>
