TimescaleDB configuration and tuning

    Max background worker processes allocated to TimescaleDB. Set to at least 1 + number of databases in Postgres instance to use background workers. Default value is 16.

    timescaledb.enable_2pc (bool)

    Enables two-phase commit for distributed hypertables. If disabled, it uses a one-phase commit instead, which is faster but can result in inconsistent data. It is by default enabled.

    timescaledb.enable_per_data_node_queries

    If enabled, TimescaleDB combines different chunks belonging to the same hypertable into a single query per data node. It is by default enabled.

    timescaledb.max_insert_batch_size (int)

    When acting as a access node, TimescaleDB splits batches of inserted tuples across multiple data nodes. It batches up to max_insert_batch_size tuples per data node before flushing. Setting this to 0 disables batching, reverting to tuple-by-tuple inserts. The default value is 1000.

    timescaledb.enable_connection_binary_data (bool)

    Enables DDL operations on data nodes by a client and do not restrict execution of DDL operations only by access node. It is by default disabled.

    timescaledb.enable_async_append (bool)

    Enables optimization that runs remote queries asynchronously across data nodes. It is by default enabled.

    timescaledb.enable_remote_explain (bool)

    Enable getting and showing EXPLAIN output from remote nodes. This requires sending the query to the data node, so it can be affected by the network connection and availability of data nodes. It is by default disabled.

    timescaledb.remote_data_fetcher (enum)

    Pick data fetcher type based on type of queries you plan to run, which can be either rowbyrow or cursor. The default is .

    timescaledb.ssl_dir (string)

    Specifies the name of the file where passwords are stored and when connecting to data nodes using password authentication.

    timescaledb.restoring (bool)

    Set TimescaleDB in restoring mode. It is by default disabled.

    timescaledb.license (string)

    Change access to features based on the Timescale license in use. For example, setting timescaledb.license to apache limits TimescaleDB to features that are implemented under the Apache 2 license. The default value is timescale, which allows access to all features.

    timescaledb.telemetry_level (enum)

    Telemetry settings level. Level used to determine which telemetry to send. Can be set to off or basic. Defaults to basic.

    timescaledb.last_tuned (string)

    Version of timescaledb-tune used to tune when it ran.
