Hi,

I was recently experimenting with the elastic stack for my backend server monitoring. I am doing self managed setup with docker containers.  
I setup the elastic, kibana, metricbeat and fleet-server.  
It works well but it not picking up the postgres db calls I make in the api for fetching and saving data. It only shows the trace of my api calls and a call to a third party api but it is not picking up the postgres db calls.

I have hosted the postgres database on [neon db.](https://neon.tech/)  
I'm developing this backend using nest-js (a node framework) and [drizzle orm](https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/overview).

Here's the link to my [repo](https://github.com/Dark-Knight11/elastic-apm/tree/postgres)

Please let me know how should I resolve this.

Specs:  
Elastic Stack: 8.13.4  
Elastic-agent ([elastic-apm-node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/elastic-apm-node)): 4.5.4
