Several metrics listed here aren't explicitly enabled in the receivers.postgresql block above: postgresql.operations, postgresql.commits, postgresql.rollbacks, postgresql.index.scans, postgresql.blocks_read. Are they on by default?

Are postgresql.blks_read and postgresql.blocks_read the same thing? Just want to make sure we aren't accidentally duplicating.

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
This adds documentation for how to configure Postgresql OTel collector pipeline to export metrics and logs to Datadog in order to correctly semantically map Postgresql OTel metrics with Datadog Agent Postgres integration metrics
Merge instructions
Merge readiness:
For Datadog employees:
Your branch name MUST follow the
<name>/<description>convention and include the forward slash (/). Without this format, your pull request will not pass CI, the GitLab pipeline will not run, and you won't get a branch preview. Getting a branch preview makes it easier for us to check any issues with your PR, such as broken links.If your branch doesn't follow this format, rename it or create a new branch and PR.
[6/5/2025] Merge queue has been disabled on the documentation repo. If you have write access to the repo, the PR has been reviewed by a Documentation team member, and all of the required checks have passed, you can use the Squash and Merge button to merge the PR. If you don't have write access, or you need help, reach out in the #documentation channel in Slack.
AI assistance
Claude Code was used to generate these docs based off of previous Mysql OTel docs. The OTel configs themselves were manually built and tested during the semantic mapping buildout of supported metrics
Additional notes
Currently there is a TODO for adding image assets. I can help generate data to populate the dashboard but currently the dashboard won't look the prettiest due to a feature flag that is disabling tag mapping.
