TimescaleDB Management

Menu path: System Platform → TimescaleDB Management. System administrators use this page to inspect table time chunks, retention policies, and background jobs. A policy on one table does not establish a platform-wide data retention period.

List and Details

Filter by Schema and table name. The list shows chunk count, chunk interval, retention policy, check interval, and job status. Identify the organization's schema before locating the table to inspect.

Click Details to view table information, the time column, compression status, size information, and retention job status. Switch between the Chunks / Jobs tabs as needed.

Action	Purpose
Refresh	Reload the current table information.
Load Size	Retrieve table and index sizes. A - before loading does not mean zero usage.
Change Retention Policy	Configure drop_after, which removes data older than the specified duration. The form contains a number and a unit; the number is required and must be at least 1.
Change Chunk Interval	Adjust the time chunk interval, separately from data retention duration.
Delete Old Chunks	Clean up data. This affects historical data and is not a list refresh.

Using This Page for Historical Queries

The historical query range and database retention policy are separate constraints. Moving the query start date earlier cannot restore data already removed by retention. If older records are missing, inspect the actual table's retention policy, check interval, and job status.

Report file retention days are configured under System Platform → Organization Management; see Report Records. This is a different setting from table retention policies.

Before changing retention or deleting old chunks, confirm the target schema, table, and required retention period, and assess the impact on stored historical data.
