Thank you Matheus!

Based on the study, there's very little performance impact when enabling log_min_duration_statement, right?


Whoa... :)  Careful there!

 This all depends on your traffic.  Keep in mind, if log_min_duration_statement is set to something low (say, 0, which means to log all statements and their data), you are essentially more than doubling the amount of I/O that your database does.  Remember, you would be writing the data to the database itself as WELL as to the logs.  In some cases, on low-volume systems, this may be a non-issue, but, on even moderately queried systems, you're going to spend a lot of your IOPS on logging.

   For sure, you can mitigate the issue by setting up a separate mount for logging, even more by running this all through [r]syslog and forwarding (over a dedicated network) the traffic to a dedicated logging host.  Just keep in mind, this is a fire hydrant you're ready to crank open, be ready to deal with the water.

I wanted to capture all the DML statements executed in the database information (execution time, ).

Question:
Can anyone point me pros and cons on either of the approaches.

In my testing, I haven't found any performance degrade on application operations when enabled the additional logging (below logging).

Besides log_min_duration_statement, you can use tools like pg_stat_statements [1] and POWA [2]. POWA authors even did a comparison of performance impact of having log_min_duration_statement (to latter process with pgBadger), using POWA extension and nothing, see [3].
