Here are a couple of ideas that are outside of the direct question.

I believe you can target one or more users with the pgaudit extension.
Look for Session Audit Logging.
Example "ALTER ROLE role_name SET pgaudit.log = 'all, -misc';".
https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit#session-audit-logging

Some clients such as psql will also allow you to write history per host /
user. ~/.psqlrc file add "\set HISTFILE ~/.psql_history_ :HOST _ :USER _
:DBNAME" for example.

Both of these should be well documented and relatively easy to test to see
if they might be of some assistance for you.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Dan Smith
