PG_STAT_ALL_INDEXES

PG_STAT_ALL_INDEXES displays statistics about all accesses to a specific index in the current database.

Indexes can be used via either simple index scans or "bitmap" index scans. Bitmap scans can combine the output of multiple indexes using AND or OR rules, but combining independent row fetching with specific indexes is challenging. Consequently, a bitmap scan increases the index count in pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_tup_read and the table count in pg_stat_all_tables.idx_tup_fetch, while having no effect on pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_tup_fetch.
