I think that's too frequent. If we want to send any stats to the
collector, it is usually done at commit time using
pgstat_report_stat(), and the function avoids sending stats too
frequently. For logrep-worker, apply_handle_commit() is calling it. It
seems to be the place if we want to send the wal stats. Or it may be
better to call pgstat_send_wal() via pgstat_report_stat(), like
pg_stat_slru().
Currently logrep-laucher, logrep-worker and autovac-launcher (and some
other processes?) don't seem (AFAICS) sending scan stats at all but
according to the discussion here, we should let such processes send
stats.
