Jobs in TimescaleDB

URL: llms-txt#jobs-in-timescaledb

TimescaleDB natively includes some job-scheduling policies, such as:

• [Continuous aggregate policies][caggs] to automatically refresh continuous aggregates
• [Hypercore policies][setup-hypercore] to optimize and compress historical data
• [Retention policies][retention] to drop historical data
• [Reordering policies][reordering] to reorder data within chunks

If these don't cover your use case, you can create and schedule custom-defined jobs to run within your database. They help you automate periodic tasks that aren't covered by the native policies.

In this section, you see how to:

• [Create and manage jobs][create-jobs]
• Set up a [generic data retention][generic-retention] policy that applies across all hypertables
• Implement [automatic moving of chunks between tablespaces][manage-storage]
• Automatically [downsample and compress][downsample-compress] older chunks
