For log settings that deal with statements, take a look at:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHEN

and

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHAT

There is also, for viewing statistics on current activity:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-STATS-VIEWS

For another view of statistics see the extension:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/pgstatstatements.html

In particular:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/monitoring-stats.html#MONITORING-PG-STAT-ACTIVITY-VIEW

Also for lock activity:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/view-pg-locks.html
