I don't see a direct way to monitor bloat from pg_stat*. If I'm wrong,
please set me straight.
For example, monitoring index bloat would involve deciding how many
pages an index would ideally consume, based on either sampling the table
yourself or raiding stats, and making assumptions. Then you'd compare
to actual (or approximated actual) and decide if you were within
whatever threshold you think is OK.
