Tembo Postgres monitoring needs pg_stat_statements or it silently does nothing

Run CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pgstatstatements on any database you connect to Tembo's Postgres integration. If slow queries are not being flagged, check the extension exists before debugging the integration itself.

Context: Official docs (Postgres integration): documents the gotcha that Tembo's Postgres integration monitors your database using pgstatstatements. Without the extension installed, slow query detection and missing-index suggestions silently do nothing. Agents that connect Tembo and expect monitoring must run the extension DDL first.
