You'll have to bring that up with the PgAudit maintainer. Note, though, that the purpose of PgAudit is not "recreate the database from audit logs"; it's "what Auditors care about". In my experience, auditors do not care about COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements.
In my experience auditors care a lot about a statement that happened versus a statement that didn't happen.

    pgaudit is statement-level, not transaction-level; that's its
    nature.  This is the same as log_statement.
    ok, but log_statement prints ROLLBACKs/COMMITs, but pgaudit not.

        Hi,

        You can use pgaudit and pgauditlogtofile extension
        (https://github.com/fmbiete/pgauditlogtofile) together to
        write audit logs in a separate file.
        One issue we have with pgaudit is that it prints AUDIT
        records even if the xaction gets rollbacked, how do you
        alleviate that ?

        yours,

            Hi All,

            We are exploring auditing solutions for our PostgreSQL
            database and are considering using |pgaudit| for this
            purpose. However, we have a few questions:

            1.

                *What is the best tool for auditing PostgreSQL
                databases?*

                 *

                    We are specifically looking for a solution that
                    offers detailed auditing capabilities and is
                    compatible with our setup.

            2.

                *Can we store the audit information separately from
                PostgreSQL logs if we decide to use |pgaudit|?*

                 *

                    We would prefer to keep the audit logs in a
                    separate file or location for easier management
                    and analysis.


            We appreciate any help or suggestions!


            Thanks

            Vijay
