Configuration

By default, TimescaleDB uses the default PostgreSQL server configuration settings. However, in some cases, these settings are not appropriate, especially if you have larger servers that use more hardware resources such as CPU, memory, and storage.

• Learn about configuration to understand how it works before you begin using it.
• Use the TimescaleDB tune tool.
• Manually edit the postgresql.conf configuration file.
• If you run TimescaleDB in a Docker container, configure within Docker.
• Find out more about the data that we collect.
