Datadog runs explain on a subset of queries , should  be most of the top queries, and doesn't use auto_explain (though there is an request to use it if it is already set up)

Postgres noob question.

For example say datadog

https://docs.datadoghq.com/database_monitoring/query_metrics/#explain-plans

Do they run EXPLAIN on all queries?

Or is it automatic in postgres? Like when auto_explain is enabled?
